Hi everybody. First time posting here and I have a doubt. If you can help please reply.

Sometimes i get these processes WinAdCtl.exe and WinAdAlt.exe to run.. after i open the task manager they disappear... I close the task manager and i re-open it again and the suckers are there again, but will disappear again...

Any ideas what this is? They are a "SYSTEM" processes

You can see the process in a report on this link below (in the Process List section).

    Description:
    winadctl.exe is is an advertising program. This process monitors your browsing habits and distributes the data back to the author's servers for analysis. This also prompts advertising popups. This program is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately.
    Go to our Spyware/Virus/Trojan Help forum, post it there and the guys in there will help you get it removed.
