I don't know what I did but a program shows up on my computer named "Win 7 Home Security - Unregistred Version". It scans my computer for viruses. But something is not right so I think it is not what it's title says. My applications flash with a high frequency and I can't end process it's task. I have 3 aao.exe *32 in my task manager. I don't know what to do with it.

It says that you must purchase the application. When I clicked on it, a website showed up just like microsoft but it was not microsoft.com. I am certain that is is a virus.

It's a fake anti-virus program; you should get rid of it.

The *32 just means that it's a 32-bit process on your 64-bit system; there's nothing wrong with that.

I know it is fake but do you know how to remove it? – AliBZ Mar 27 '11 at 15:51
Thank you SLaks, I removed it but now I want to start my microsoft essential but it says "The specified service does not exist as an istalled service". How can I start it? – AliBZ Mar 27 '11 at 16:33
Try re-installing it. – SLaks Mar 27 '11 at 16:34
When I want to install it, it says that it is already installed. – AliBZ Mar 27 '11 at 16:35
