Seems I've gotten some spyware or something.
Anyone ever seen a process ER3mfn4d.exe?
It keeps opening up Internet explorer and shit.
If anyone has ever seen this process before and know where I can find it in my registry let me know though.

Yeah, installing Gnu/Linux got rid of it.

Do you really think someone whom has been on totse as long as me isn't going to hit up google before asking this question?
And yeah, my next step will be to install linux.
Will linux support wmv files? Too much music, don't want to lose it.

Linux? Linux is just a kernel. Gnu is a full operating system. Gnu/Linux is the Gnu operating system using the Linux kernel.
You'll probably be installing a Gnu/Linux distribution, like Ubuntu.

I had ubuntu before, but what linux distro is recommended for someone new to linux?
Also, can I transfer all my music files from .mp3 to a linux format? Or will linux play .mp3s?

The proper term is Gnu/Linux.
MP3 is a fully-documented format and is supported universally, but it is patent-encumbered, so it may be illegal to install the programs that use it if you live in a country that uses US patent law (most of the world except the EU). To get around this, you can install the package 'mp32ogg' (It's in the Ubuntu repositories) and convert all your music to Ogg Vorbis, which is both patent-free and achieves higher compression while retaining the same bitrate as mp3 (your music will take up less space, about 1/16 of the size will drop if you use ogg).
This command will convert all mp3 files in a directory and all subdirectories to Ogg (deleting the original mp3s, you can take the --delete flag off to keep them):
find . | grep ".mp3" | xargs -d "\n" mp32ogg --delete >> report.out
I'd elaborate further, but that's a matter for E*Nix.

Or to play ANY files type this command in terminal:
sudo apt-get install vlc

Well, if that's to play mp3's it needs the same libraries you'd need to convert the MP3 to OGG. Ogg is higher-quality and higher-compression per quality, though. Hence why you'd want to convert stuff to it.
