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:
- DNA
- LimeWire 5.5.8
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- DNA
- Ares
- Azureus 2.5.0.0
- BitComet
- Bittorrent
- E-Mule
- Frostwire
- Limewire
- µTorrent
Unsafe- Ares
- Azureus Vuze
- BearShare
- Bitlord
- BittorrentUltra
- iMesh

Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware (click 'here' for more information) instead of malware since it is installed without users' approval but doesn't spy or do anything labeled as bad.
This changed in 2006:
"Viewpoint will develop a behavioral targeting product in 2006, execs said during the company's Q3 earnings call.
It will work by collecting clickstream data on users who have installed the Viewpoint media player, then using that data to target ads and content on the company's partner sites. Viewpoint claims 120 million users have installed its player."
