Computer Room Design

I’m running Windows Vista Home Basic with AVG as an anti-virus.

Recently my pc has been infected with some sort of nasty thing, and it has consequently led to my Windows Defender to stop working. It’s currently out of date, and can’t update causing it not to work.

Not to mention, the loss of Aero & the color schemes. After ‘personalize’, then ‘window color and appearance’, it gives me a box similar to that of the windows xp version; models of example windows that demonstrate the colors you can choose from drop down boxex rather than the Aero colors in a row w/ a drag bar for opacity and such. There is no option for Aero at all.

Also, a few popups have come up- much to my annoyance. One makes a loud high pitched noise and states, in very poor, misspelled, english, that I’m running low on RAM. It’s obviously not a real Windows popup, but it’s designed to seem so. The other stems from my task bar reading ‘WiniGuard Alert’ or something of the sort. It emits a strange sound similar to that of a screeching pig. It states that my computer is being attacked or something, again in very poor english. This is bothersome, since, I noticed something called winiguard on my pc and proceeded to uninstall it- but the popups still remain.

I thought I’d throw this in there- I’m getting way more popups when visiting websites in general, and my popup blocker doesn’t work. Also, alot of the time, when I visit a web page, it fails to load- and after a few times of refreshing, it manages. Very annoying.

What I need are suggestions on how to deal with these problems. Preferably through a way that won’t cost me any money. Also in a way that isn’t too difficult for me to comprehend (not too much script and such).

I’ve noticed some irregularities of the process in my task manager I thought may be worth mentioning:

-2 copies of csrss.exe- one running at about 5,500k and the other at about 550k
-baloon.exe
-cfrog.exe
-2 copies of rundll32.exe- one running at 88k, and the other at 184k

I’ve ran AVG already several times, and I scanned using Windows Defender and both can’t come up with anything else (after AVG already identified & contained/destroyed 8 trojans).

Well, yeah.. help. =
