Having problems with Malware and NIKON NX@ and others

[retiredf5]

Loaded Malware on a trial few days ago. Running Windows XP Home. Only anti virus, spy etc is ESET Smart Security.

If Malware is included in the startup, things freeze up and the ONLY way to restart is turn the power off. Also, NIKON NX2(similiar to photoshot starts up fine but will not EXIT.

Got tired of Malware problems so unloaded it via Control Panel. BTW, NX2 runs fine and shuts down. At the moment will not download and reload Malware unless some fix of the problem is indicated.
