Why does my computer come factory with a virus?

I'll set some logs Does DDS and GRMER sound good?

I'm looking for a combo fix if anybody is up to it.

Thank you,
Wayne

Yeah certainly not the most helpful response I agree. But you shouldn't have to purchase a new OS to reinstall Windows. The system you purchased likely has a restore disk and you can use that to move forward.

However before you head out, I'd go over to the HijackThis Logs // Malware Removal area of this forum. Check out the sticky posts and go from there. They'll be able to help you get this thing out of your system.

Also from the minimal research I did, it appears that the process you mention is associated with an auto-update feature and isn't necessarily a trojan. Could be wrong though so I'd head over to the link I posted and go from there.
