Hi

Have you virus-checked your system recently? If not, try that with the
latest definitions for your anti-virus program.

Be sure your computer is completely virus/malware-free. Go through these
general malware removal steps systematically -

Once you have done that and know the computer is clean, if you are still
experiencing the problem post back. Before you post, read the information
at this link to see what details you need to include in order to get
focused help:

I have a similar problem now. I managed to identify and cleaned some
problems, but there is still something ongoing. I can see some of the
problems under "services" by using "services.msc" command with RUN,
but how do I disable or delete them? There is one particular that
despite disabling it, it keeps going "automatic".

Are you the original poster? If not, if you need more help make a new
post instead of continuing in someone else's thread.

From the little information you've provided, it is probable that your
computer is infested with viruses and/or malware. Go through these
general malware removal steps systematically -

Include scanning with either Sysclean or Multi_AV, plus Ewido. Do all
prep/finishing work and follow instructions to do all scans in Safe
Mode.

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the link above (not here, please).

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
