I was looking at piratebay.org (don't if allowed), and I downloaded cod 5. I went back to look at the d/l page, and a lot of people said it was infested with trojans. So, I went to look for an antivirus, and I came across NOD32. I hear thats a pretty good antivirus, so I downloaded that. My current antivirus picked up NOD32 as a trojan, and deleted part of it. I installed it anyways, and its working fine. I run a scan with NOD32, and nothing comes up. Then I run a scan with my other antivirus, and an adware comes up. Am I to worry?

Forgot to mention that some porn site popped up when I opened up the internet.

Did the porn site come up straight after you dowlnoaded/installed cod5?
Sometimes Antiviruses say other antiviruses are viruses to stop you from installing it and staying with that original AV...

I think you might have a virus due to the porn site.
Porn sites don't just pop up randomly...

there is good torrent websites and bad torrent websites... piratebay its not that good and you should probably delete all of the COD5 stuff now before you keep downloading it f its finished then scan it (the iso) and maybe take your chances.

in the future you should use a more reliable torrent site... i recomend you start with Mininova find a good torrent with some good reviews, then go to Isohunt, look for the same torrent and download it to get more trackers.

Okay, what a mess.
First of all, never have more than one antivirus installed at the same time, let alone open. Here's what to do. uninstall whatever av program you had before and install Nod32 (if you know it's clean). Do a complete scan.
Then use Spybot S&D and Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal to get rid of spyware and adware.
