ANSWER: Hi Ritika
It looks like you have a worm on your PC. Please go to the following link and download HijackThis:
Download to your desktop or other convenient location, and run HJTSetup.exe to install. Once installed open HijackThis by clicking Start -> Program Files -> HijackThis.
1. Click the button labeled Do a system scan and save a logfile.
2. HijackThis will quickly scan your system, and then open two new windows. The results of the HijackThis scan, and hijackthis.log in Notepad. Save hijackthis.log. By default it will be saved to C:\HijackThis, or you can chose “Save As…”, and save to another location.
3. Hijackthis.log contains the info that’s required for analysis. Highlight the entire contents. Copy and paste the contents into a follow-up here. DO NOT fix anything. I will get back to you with instructions.
