I have strange problem.
Whenever i insert my floppy in the system, the document is named to (~temp254.doc) if it is a word document and one exe is created same name as the document (i.e document.exe) .
If I delete that exe file, then one cycle of exe files is generated and lastly my heart.exe and my love.exe is created.
What is the problem and How should I cure it ?

one another problem is that one popup is coming anytime when I am working on my pc saying that your system is may be infected with spyware, do you want to scan your PC ?

I have installed Microsoft Anti spyware also. but nothing is happning

Do you have any AntiVirus? If yes, update it, and perform a full system scan. Also download SpyBot SnD, CCleaner and install them. Run SpyBot and scan your PC for spywares and remove them. Run CCleaner, and Click "Options" button and here go to "Settings" tab and uncheck the option "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours". Click OK to exit from the Options. Finally click "Run Cleaner".

Do you any software named Spyware iGuard? If yes, unisntall it.

Download HijackThis and unzip it to dedicated folder (like C:\HijackThisFolder\hijackthis.exe).
Then run it and click the button Do a System scan and save log file. HijackThis will perform a scan and saves the log file as hijackthis.log in the same folder where it is installed and it also opens the file automatically.
Copy the entire contents of the file and post it this Section.
