Your machine still infested with malwares and viruses, try to scan for them
on your computer, you looks like have a trojans mytob.zp or win32.Hid.
Here are some steps to clean up:
1... Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .

Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called
[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on
[Delete Files..] to delete Internet Files created over the time, click on [
Delete Cookies...] to delete your cookies left by visiting websites.

= Then try to Disable the Add-Ons on your Browser somehow installed on your
browser, On how to disable the Add-ons follow this:
Click on Programs Tab and then click the Manage Add-Ons Button there Disable
the None/Not Verified Plug-ins/Add-ons ( you need to Renable them one-by-one
later and see which is the culprit or you can send them here in your next
post) and click [OK] to confirm your Changes.

Click on Advanced Tab and scroll down under the browsing option and uncheck
this box:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) and click Apply
then OK to close your IE Properties.

Hi Woody,
You really shouldn't have this Svchost.exe in the windows directory, it is
fishy to me, your computer infected with a virus.
Here are the Svchost.exe locations:

C:\Windws\Prefetch
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Windows\ServicePack\i386
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\SelfUpade\16b2c96a0c........

So, rename this Svchost,.exe i this path:
C:\Windows\Svchost.Old and Reboot and see.
My advise Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of
many
forums for analysis and troubleshooting:
When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. Post
