Ok, apperently at 5:33 am, my steam email was changed, and when i went into task manager i found 3 program running that were using about 1.1k of memory and their names were all numbers lower than 30000 with only 5 digits ,here is a pic, this happened on may 19th also and when i looked at my comp, it said "Your Account Credentials have expired. Please re-log in."
The last time this happened, in may, the same processes were there and when i try deleteing them, they just come back.

I had this same thing a little while back, I installed Comodo firewall and it stopped those processes accessing the internet, it created about 6 more processes everytime I blocked one. So I had to format because I couldn't put up with the shit, My advice is back up important text files, and format.

i suggest using hijack this and deleting those.

| Most antiviruses or firewalls have a feature that can block certain processes or programs from running. As ControlAltDelete said, COMODO's firewall can work.

Reformat, is the best option here as even if those 4 files are removed there is a large possibility that there are other viruses on your computer and your computer may well still be open to other viruses coming in.

The odds of having more than one piece of malware on a PC are incredibly low - having more than one piece of spyware is easily possible.
OP, I would recommend searching for specific registry keys related to these executables, start-up entries, etc. Check out the Autoruns utility (technet.mic rosoft.co m/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx).

The keys would just do simple trojan things such as disable tools.
Also, if anything it would just do with auto start up.
Your options are:
1) Use google to find tools removing your virii
2)Upload the files to virustotal.com and use that anti virii
3) Reformat (xp,vista, or the best vista windows7)
4) Or i can help you just see below

If 5 virus got in, its highly possible a million other viruses are on his computer aswell...

Install CCleaner, go to Tools > Startup, post a screenshot of everything in there.

Good idea.
Another option is Start>Msconfig> StartUp Tab> Screenshot for us...

It would hide it's ass in msconfig guys if its a trojan and also disable msconfig.
