Okay people I really need help on this one here because it seems like a Virus but I can't visually see anything its doing to me yet. I was in my e-mail and my friend sent me pictures from his vacation. After I had to download the attachments and the zipped files opened no pictures could be viewed in the photo gallery.
Then I got a pop up that was along the lines of "has your computer been running slower? it may be because infectious spy ware was installed..." and i click the 'x' and looked at my Add/Remove in my Control Panel. All of my buttons that give me the option to remove a program are gone so I just have to stare at all my files. I'll give a list of the files that "magically" appeared on their own in my Add/Remove at the bottom of this message.
I have run Ad-Aware 2007 and it found 73 infectious files which we cookies. When I clicked delete I had 3 remaining and it said they'd go away after I reboot. So I just rebooted and just finished running another scan now, and am at only 5 infections detected but that list of files in my Add/Remove is still there.
I also ran AVG and it says no threats were found, so that doesn't really help me.
I haven’t had any changes to my homepage settings, no new favorites add to my list that I didn't add myself, and I have no new desktop display.
This is the most mysterious 'virus' I have ever seen because it is almost like its apart of my computer because I'm not seeing anything bad that it’s doing.
Here is that list of new programs I didn't add in my Add/Remove:

Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX (i did just add install this myself, but could this be responsible for it all?)
