My computer recently got all kinds of spyware into it through some mysterious means. I get occasional popups telling me to please visit their sponsors, and other stuff trying to sell me anti-spyware programs.
In addition to this, Symantec AntiVirus keeps finding a "downloader" virus at "C:\WINDOWS\system32\compstuic.dll.tmp", and every time it is deleted, it is immediately replaced by another file just like it. The notifications just stack up.
The following is my HijackThis log for this computer.
