I have had a problem with my computer on and off for the past month or two. I currently use McAfee VirusScan and Webroot SpySweeper and I have been scanning practically everyday to try to remove my problems with no luck.

When I scan my computer using Webroot it finds Adware called Virtumonde. I quarantine it but it is back even when I start Webroot up again within minutes of the previous sweep. After the quarantine it says it found spyware running in memory and to remove it completely I need to restart my computer. So, I restart my computer and nothing happens... it's still there. I constantly get pop-up advertisements on my screen - so often it makes it impossible to even do anything. Around the same time this started my computer began running very slow.

Then, suddenly today I have a new problem. I get a warning that says windows\system32\nafamamo.dll is not a valid windows image. What is that??? It pops up about 30 times when I boot my computer, and then again each time I open a new program on my computer. What is this and how can I remove it??

I consider myself computer savvy from teaching myself, but I am at a loss for how to fix this. I also do not have a warranty so sending it in is not an option. Anyone have any suggestions for me??

On the list of malware programs that could be in my computer it says WildTangent. I have WildTangent Web Driver... is that the same? Should I remove it?

I also have viewpoint media player in my list of programs. And that is on the list of malware. Should I remove that also? I am afraid to remove anything without knowing for sure.

You can keep it or uninstall it. Normally it is not needed and if it is it will just reinstall whenever it is needed. See here for more information. http://www.pchell.com/support/wildtangent.shtml

You can uncheck Cookie in the options. SUPERAntiSpyware will get any bad ones.

My log is too long to post... I will try to attach it. I am still having an issue with my warning about the Nafamamo.dll error. It pops up everytime a new program is opened, and when I reboot my computer it pops up about 30-40 times as everything loads. It says "The application or DLL C:\windows\system32\nafamamo.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."
