Winhound is anti-spyware/antivirus a program that is known to display fake alerts to make you buy the commercial product. If you are infected with this program, you will receive false alerts like the Security Center in Windows that tells you you're infected with spyware and you need a special program. Update your antivirus and then scan in safe mode.

The alerts given by WinHound are false in order for you to purchase this product. Your screen is changed and displays the message "Warning Spyware Detected On Your System: Install an antivirus or spyware software to clean your computer."
