These are all programs that easily come under attack if a virus gets
through.
Try these to see if it helps:

AdAware:

Spybot S & D:
www.safer-networking.org/
Check for Parasites/Worms:
www.gemal.dk/browserspy/parasites.html

If your able to erradicate the virus or viruses you likely have then I
recommend you install and run a firewall assuming ou aren't already, and if
ou are make sure it is working properly.

So I assume the problem is now solved?
No more premature e-termination? ;-)
