I dont think we should give ADV a bad name yet, its very possible its a false positive, and the OP said he only recently installed anti-virus so his computer could have been infected from something else.

First, take a look at the screenshot. My anti-virus program detected a virus that was accessed by Process Name: AdvLoader.exe. If you look at the bottom of the screenshot, it is AdvLoader that launched and is accessing the virus page. The anti-virus software detected the virus, attempted to delete it but failed and notified me that it couldn't be deleted because it was in use by another program (AdvLoader).

Obviously, a program does not need to contain a virus to load a virus onto your computer. It can simply load a page from the internet that has a virus, and that will infect your computer. You can go and scan IE, it contains no viruses but you can get all kinds infections through it. The problem is with AdvLoader you can't control what it's loading onto your computer.

So this is what I'm saying the AdvLoader is doing, periodically loading pages that contain viruses/adware. The window at the top of the program makes you vulnerable to infection. And no, it's not from somewhere, anywhere else, as shown by the screenshot.

wow and i thought this was all due to when i freaked out about that girl i watned to see naked and made some bad decisions regarding sites i DL at.

But aroudn the same time i got advloader, i hope its not the culprit, but maybe it is and theres a cure, becuase ad-aware and spybot search and destroy couldnt get rid of whatevers fucking up my computer.

Adaware and spybot aren't very good. They work in the general sense but they'll always be one step behind, much like anti-maphackers. PM me and I'll help you out.

Except that i have noticed that even when SC is closed the ADVloader is still open and sometimes after about a minute it might alt tab me and show a popup. I think I stopped it with bannerzapper though.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Perhaps you already had some adware which redirects the content of the browserwindow of AdvLoader. ie using the hosts file or an IE plugin. Or one of the Ads AdvLoader displays comes from an infected server.

This would be most sad. I'm curious why only new installs seem to be followed by problems.
