Windows titled "sdasd" keeps popping up.?

I would appreciate if you guys could help me with this problem which started yesterday. I was introduced by a friend of mine to the 'click to pay' scheme and after a few clicks, one of them left me with a window titled "sdasd" that keeps popping up. I've tried cleaning the computer using anti spyware, but the problem is still there.

Is this window a form of virus, malware, spyware or adware? If so, could you guys please suggest the way to eliminate it. If it is not, could you guys inform me what it is?

Thank you.

    I've done several searches and have found the file listed a couple of times--it DOES look like spyware, in the form of WINAD. But, I'm not not completely sure. The listings are rather confusing.

    I suggest you do a system restore. Hopefully, you're using XP?

    If so, go to Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. A box will pop up--make sure the button is selected for

    "Restore my computer to an earlier time". Click the NEXT button.

    Today's date will be highlighted. On the same calendar, you'll see other dates that are in BOLD print. Select the first bold date before all this started. You said yesterday, right? So pick the first bold date b4 the 19th. My particular computer shows the 14th, as an example. Click on that date, click NEXT. It'll direct you from there---pretty simple, it just shuts down, restores your computer & restarts.

    This should take care of the problem. Try it let us know, ok?

    Just for more info, if you haven't used system restore before, it will undo all downloaded files and installs since the date you selected. Totally safe. A great feature. It's saved my butt a time or two when I've installed program that has caused problems.

    I replied a question like yours for somebody awhile back -she even has the comparable image as yours. I copied and pasted the text textile, so savour: digital reminiscence isn't any doubt one in all the main extreme function of a multi-tasking working equipment. In Win9x, the internet site document became stated as a transformation document. Even homestead windows 3.a million had a transformation document. digital reminiscence is a equipment the place laptop code and documents could nicely be swapped to and from a document on the irritating force. this helps the working equipment to apply extra reminiscence than what's presented in actual reminiscence. Unused 'pages' of laptop reminiscence could nicely be swapped to the internet site document (or substitute document), and then homestead windows can allocate the reminiscence that became swapped to different classes. homestead windows makes effective use of digital reminiscence. working example, if a application is sitting in the history in an idle state, homestead windows will without delay flow this technique's unused code and documents reminiscence pages to the internet site document. Then, whilst this technique will become energetic lower back, homestead windows a lot the code and documents back. Now, i think of i will help you stay away from that digital reminiscence message that homestead windows grants. good click My laptop on the laptop and choose residences. click the more advantageous tab and click the Settings button, below overall performance. click the more advantageous tab and then click the substitute button. You in fact have 2 strategies right here. you could the two go with the button which permits homestead windows to handle the dimensions of the internet site document (click the equipment controlled length button), or you ought to use the internet site document length that homestead windows recommends listed on the backside of the internet site. many times homestead windows recommends a length someplace around 1150. I manually set mine to 1200. in case you prefer a custom length, click the custom length button and set the preliminary length to regardless of homestead windows recommends. the optimum length could nicely be the comparable style, or some style above the cautioned length. you will could desire to reboot the laptop once you ok the settings. Oops, one warning: till now you're making the substitute to the digital reminiscence length, verify to easily remember to've sufficient annoying force area.
