It looks like you do have some adware in there. What anti-spyware programs do you run? I did a search for your problem and found a forum talking about the same issue. The response below is from someone posting how to get rid of it that seemed to work. It looks like they used Lavasoft Ad-Aware in conjunction with another program by Lavasoft. Give it a try:
you definitely have an epolvy infection... which is associated with NAIL/Aurora/SvcProc...
we\'ll be using two programs remove it... please be sure you obtain/use the versions indicated --- if you use older/obsolete versions, this fix won\'t work:
If you don\'t already have it, download Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06 from [url=\"http://www.majorgeeks.com/Ad-Aware_SE_Personal_d506.html\"]http://www.majorgeeks.com/Ad-Aware_SE_Personal_d506.html[/url]
[Note: If you have an older \"build\" of Ad-Aware SE --- or even worse, if you\'re still using Ad-Aware 6 --- you must upgrade to this version/build, SE 1.06 ]
Install the Ad-Aware program (following any indicated directions). [As part of the installation, it will check to see if you already have an older version of Ad-Aware installed, and if one is found, it will ask (\"advise\") you to allow the older one to be removed... so if asked, please allow it.]
Open/start Ad-Aware SE. Click on Check for Updates Now, and Connect . if found, follow the directions to download/install the latest reference file, till you FINISH.
After updating, from the STATUS screen, click on START.
then make sure you have a RED X in front of \"Search for negligible risk entries\"
(if you see a GREEN CHECK, then CLICK on it, to change it to the RED X. )
then hit NEXT to perform a Smart Scan. Allow it to remove any problems founds.
Close-down Ad-Aware.
then download the VX2-cleaner add-on by clicking-on the link near the bottom of
[url=\"http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/addons/vx2cleaner.shtml\"]http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/addons/vx2cleaner.shtml[/url]
This will download the file vx2cleaner_inst.exe ; click on it, and follow the directions to install the VX2-cleaner.
Start Ad-Aware SE again. Click on the Add-Ons button. Click on the VX2-Cleaner. Click on Run Tool, and then click OK . If it finds any VX2 problems, follow all the directions to CLEAN things. (I believe this will include a reboot, and directions to run another smart scan. Follow all indicated directions [i.e., various/multiple scans] until it tells you you\'re clean of VX2.
This should have removed all traces of epolvy (and \"related\" infections).
