Hi!!
I found some additional info for you, the problem you have is related
to a known bug in Spybot, you need to download and install a patch
from here:
"Spybot - Search and Destroy DSO Exploit Fix 1.3.1 TX":
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4392.html
If you like this solution just follow the instructions on the above
page and check what happens.
My suggestion is to remove such program via the Windows' Add/Remove
Programs feature, and then using HijackThis fix all items related to
it (if still present):
O4 - Global Startup: Compaq Connections.lnk = C:\Program Files\Compaq
Connections\1940576\Program\BackWeb-1940576.exe
Then delete the folder C:\Program Files\Compaq Connections\1940576 and
its content.
NOTE:
Do this only if the Spybot Patch does not work or if you prefer to not
have this unuseful program.
As a bonus I suggest you some other fixes:

Also is always a good idea to keep the Trusted zone empty, so do the
following fixes only if you want:
O15 - Trusted Zone: www.alltel.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.AVGINET.EXE
O15 - Trusted Zone: www.grisoft.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: www.kodakgallery.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: www.m-w.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: www.randmcnalley.com
One more recommendation:
Uninstall the BrowseBlast Web Accelerator, unless you find it very
helpful, in most cases this kind of programs are the origin of
security and performance problems. (use the Add/Remove Programs
feature).
Do the fixes in Safe Mode, you can boot in safe mode by tapping the
key F8 before the Windows' logo be displayed at booting time or see
for other instructions here:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam
To fix your computer using HijackThis just run HijackThis (with your
PC in safe mode) and click on the button "Do a system scan only", then
check to fix the items to be removed and click on "Fix Checked". See
more detailed instructions here:

The suggested fixes are not critical, your computer does not appears
to be infected, but fixing such items you will improve your computer
performance and security. Note that they are not related to the
problem that motivates your question so it is your entire choice to
