Winshow is some kind of dodgy virus kinda thing... check out the link below, it kinda tells you what you might need to do in order to possibly eliminate it if you do have it....

it's not a virus really, it's a browser hijacker, changes your home page and sends data back to a main server, as detailed in the link above, tells you what you need to delete in order to remove it, it says also that it might cause some errors, and trigger the M$ Error reporting tool.
