No visible malware showing there, the ads's attached to the music may well be DRM data and is of no import

The main pointer though would be if you are experiencing any problems ?  Are you ?

I'm sorry but TDSS Rootkit and Sophos Rootkit Detection are painfully slow. It's at 3% for the past 1hr.
TDSS runs in about a minute or less on my PC excluding updating time. Sophos does run for a while since it is doing a full scan of your hard drive.

Scan times are however hardware dependent.

Phew thank u so much essexboy. My computer is good for most of the time but it becomes slow in opening files or launching applications at random times. i have no idea why. Also i have a problem when dragging windows. the contents aren't shown. just a black outline appears whenever i drag them. after i change the visual settings inside Computer, it turns normal but again the black outline comes back after some time. Any way to fix these?

Clear all the temporary files and run the windows defrag tool

Let me know if that makes an improvement

Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop
  • Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
  • It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
  • Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.  Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
  • Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.
