Run Hijackthis and select "Do a system scan only", place a check by the following entries.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ShowWnd] ShowWnd.exe

Close all open windows and browsers, and hit "Fix Checked".

Find and delete this file.

ShowWnd.exe

Reboot and post anew log, and say how things are now.

What? They've had a second opinion, mine! What makes you think it's a virus?

saw it on google, to be an operation which is unrequired, and at times is described to be a Virus.

A lot of malware uses legit file names to try and hide itself, the trick is knowing what's good and what's bad. In this instance, it's good! Please don't post telling people they may have a virus if you don't know that that is the case. Some people will panic and delete the file, rendering the program useless.
