Hi everyone,
I checked my task manager and saw a file named sndloader.exe. I searched it at Google, Yahoo, and others, but it doesn't give me any results. Does anyone have a clue to what it could be? Maybe an unknown virus??
Thanks for replying.

It sounds like a variant on the
Tooncom trojan
it uses a number of loader.exe entries

the other one that comes to mind is the msupdater.exe trojan

YOu might want to try
HijackThis Quick Start Guide
and post at their forums.

Could post back here with the logfile, but I am new here and do not know if others are familiar with interpreting it.

I am not familar with that .exe. Mybe spybot will help you i am not sure. Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. Its is also free!

It appears it's actually a variant of the Agobot virus, go here for more info and removal instructions:
