Story: Story removed, suffice to say I accidently clicked yes on something that asked me to run it.
Problem: Something keeps running copies of itself, which then tries to connect to something across the internet and download another program, which I assume is a trojan because I became intrigued and decided that I couldn't come to any harm by accepting to install it, and it might stop the original program from trying to connect every minute or so. I ran a virus/spyware check with Spybot and AVG Free, and I've cleaned everything up that they have come across but I'm still getting this. As I'm behind a proxy, everytime it runs and tries to connect I get a username/password box that pops up, even in the middle of a game or something.
I look in the 'processes' part of the task manager and there are multiple copies of winEDD.tmp.exe running, and multiple copies of winED9.tmp.exe. These are directly related to the popups as a new copy of the exe opens just before a username/password box comes up, and the box dissapears if I close the process. I don't know how to get rid of it, it's really annoying me! Can someone help please?
