There is a downloadable program at weather.com that puts weather info on your desktop.
Anyone know if this program includes spy/mal/adware? It'd be nice to have on my computer but I'm hesitant now that I have spybot installed and I see how much negative actually tries to access my computer.

How do I post???
Please help.
I have ran Ad-Aware and it removed everything but the problem. At boot up I get a sex pop-up along with a desktop and start-up menu icon. Everytime I re-boot it happens. I noticed a program installed in my program files folder called "TV Media" and I cant delete it, aswell as its corresponding registry entry in the RUN folder called Tvm.exe that re-writes itself evertime I try to delete it. What do I do???

If you don't already have HijackThis, Download HijackThis from http://spywareinfo.c.../hijackthis.exe and create a log. Run the program, and press Scan. You will notice the Scan button will turn into a "Save Log" button. Save the log and Post that log into a new topic in the malware removal forum. DO NOT Delete or modify anything yet, as some of it is needed to keep your system in good shape.
