You're in no worse shape than a lot of people. Did you get a link to SpyHunter from one of these popups? If you did, I would suspect it's the program that did the damage. You can manually search for answers and fixes or you can download the shareware version of PestPatrol. Install and update it and let it run. I believe it will identify both these problems but won't take care of them until you buy the full program. I think it is around $40. I have used it plenty of times when none of the freebies would take care of the "infection". You can try SpyBot Search and Destroy, AdAware, CWShredder, or Hijack This...all free and they may take care of you. If you're running XP or ME shut down System Restore to keep from getting reinfected before you attempt removal. Viewpornkey is a browser hijacker and tskmgr32 is a trojan named Downloader-GC. I'm headed to work but if you want to remove these manually, I'll check back later today and we'll see how you stand
