Default Popup download link on startup

every time i log in to my computer a downlad link pops up, promting me to open an internet radio. before that, on logon, winamp opened itself with the same internet radio url. the radio didn't even play. i thought the problem was with winamp so i uninstalled it and all its contents. don't know what to do? i've already run spyware and malware programs.

What spyware scans have you ran?

Please read and follow these instructions carefully.

Download HijackThis Here
Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\HijackThis.
Some new versions save to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis
Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
DO NOT PUT HijackThis.exe ON THE DESKTOP OR IN A TEMP FOLDER.
This is important because it will create backups and they are easily lost if not installed correctly.

*Important*
Rename the Hijackthis.exe file to Analyze.exe. This is important because some new forms of malware can hide from HijackThis.exe. Right click the HijackThis.exe file in C:\Program Files\HijackThis and choose rename. Type in Analyze.exe and press the enter key.
Right click the Analyze.exe file and send to desktop to create a shortcut.

Next click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file button". It will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
Right click the notepad and click "select all" Right click again and select "copy"
Paste the log in your next reply.

DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
