EDIT - u got the gaobot virus

W32/Agobot-SZ is an IRC backdoor Trojan and network worm which attempts to spread to other computers using randomly generated IP addresses.
This worm will move itself into the Windows System32 folder under the filename ASCV.EXE and may create the following registry entries so that it can execute automatically on system restart:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Windows cfg = ascv.exe

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Windows cfg = ascv.exe

W32/Agobot-SZ will also create the following registry entries:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\a3\
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_A3\
