I see no evidence of an AntiVirus program on your system. This must be resolved. Connecting to the Internet without antivirus protection is a "Welcome" doormat for malware. It can take as little as eight seconds to infect an unprotected computer.

Please download and install this excellent and FREE anti-virus program:

Please download Active Virus Shield (powered by Kaspersky) and save it to your desktop.

• Please remember to register for your Activation Code using a legitimate email address.
• Double-click avs.msi to run the installer, but please uncheck "Install Security Toolbar" during the installation process:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then please update the program and run a systemwide scan. Allow it to neutralize all that it finds.
• When done, launch Active Virus Shield's main window.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Click the Scan button on the left, and then click Detected.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• In the ensuing window, click the Save As button to save a copy of the log.
• Copy and paste that log in your next reply.

Note: You must only use 1 (one) AV at a time because if you have 2 or more AVs running at the same time, they will conflict with each other and make your security less reliable.

You don't seem to have a firewall program installed. Using a firewall will allow you to give/deny access for applications that want to go online. Select one of these, or another of your choice:
