Your system is affected by a B-grade trojan named DriveGuard.exe.

Drivegruard.exe

DriveGuard.exe is a virus - Trojan -spyware and its spread by

Spoiler

. This trojan reaches your computer from unknown source, even if you run any anti-virus, say Kaspersky or McAfee (Internet security suite).

This trojan generates a file called "verupdate.tmp" in the temp folder of the computer and it runs as a system process collecting datas along with the main file driveguard.exe.

After collecting datas it generates a jpg file at internet temp folder and connects to the said tripod site as a process of IE and executes a CGI file at

Spoiler

. Even though the file has jpg extension, its not a picture file but an exe file.

To remove this, go to task manager, stop the running services of this trojen and then delete it from the program files folder.

It labels itself as windriveguard.exe in the latest varients.

I hope this works. If it dint, then u will have to install a good trojan remover (trojan hunter latest version recomended). All the best :good:
