  Besides compromising network security, their association with illegal file-sharing creates legal liabilities for their employers. More often than not, companies aren't aware of software license violations and other infractions their workers commit through file-sharing.

  I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Person to Person) File Sharing Programs on your computer. Your system is at risk. Even if you are using a safe P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.
  
  I strongly recommend that you uninstall the following program(s) present in your system through Add or Remove Programs for Windows XP and Programs and Features for Vista and Windows 7:

• • µTorrent
  
  Note: If you choose not to remove the program(s), please do not use them until this computer is clean.
  
  Here is the list of Safe and Unsafe P2P Programs.
  
  Clean

• • Ares
    
  • Azureus 2.5.0.0
    
  • BitComet
    
  • Bittorrent
    
  • E-Mule
    
  • Frostwire
    
  • Limewire
    
  • µTorrent
  
  Unsafe

• • Azureus Vuze
    
  • BearShare
    
  • Bitlord
    
  • BittorrentUltra
    
  • iMesh
  
  You can see more of that 'here'.

• Step 7
  
  
  Looking at your log, I have seen that you have the program(s) below installed. I highly suggest a removal through Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features. I am asking you this for I have seen negative feedback from users. Should the program(s) in question be utterly clean, no such comment should be seen. Take this as a pre-cautionary measure. Better safe than sorry.
  
  The list below shows the program(s) with poor or flawed reputation that you currently have installed in your system:

• • vShare Plugin
  
  Please respond back if you encounter difficulties uninstalling the program(s).

• Step 8
  
  Your current copy of Java Runtime Environment is outdated. Older versions contain vulnerabilities therefore it is essential that you update it.

• • To get the latest version of Java please go 'here'.
    
  • Go to 'Start' > 'Control Panel' > 'Programs and Features'.
    
  • Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. You currently have:
    • Java™ 6 Update 17
  • Choose 'Uninstall'.
    
  • Now install the version(s) you downloaded earlier.

• Step 9
  
  Please run HijackThis. Click 'Do a system scan only' and place a check next to the following line(s) if present:
  
  O2 - BHO: vShare Plugin - {043C5167-00BB-4324-AF7E-62013FAEDACF} - C:\Program Files (x86)\vShare\vshare_toolbar.dll
  O3 - Toolbar: vShare Plugin - {043C5167-00BB-4324-AF7E-62013FAEDACF} - C:\Program Files (x86)\vShare\vshare_toolbar.dll
  
  Then, close all other open windows and click 'Fix Checked'. You are to reboot your system afterwards.
