"Spywarestrike" has infected my computer

My computer got infected somehow by a popup that advertises an antimalware program called "Spywarestrike" that causes a "Your computer is infected!" and "Security Alert!" popup balloon to happen about every second out of the lower right of my computer screen. It also causes a "Critical System Error!" popup to happen, but not as often. Of course, it tries to lead me to believe that if I purchase this antimaleware program, it will make this problem go away.
Instead of falling for this trap, I went to "Hijack This", instead! So, here is what I came up with in my logfile:

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I did what the pinned thread said to do, and I'm seeing a great improvement in the computer performance. Although I tried to follow the instructions to a "T", a few things didn't go as planned. First, the Disk Cleanup didn't take very long at all. I'm thinking that it might not have run at all, since it was over instantly, without a popup window or anything to say that it was even running. Second, I couldn't find the boxes for "Binder", "Crypter", and "Archives" to see if they were checked or not, since part of the Ewido window was missing for some reason. But I ran it anyway.
Also, when I went into Display>Desktop>Customize Desktop>Website>Uncheck "Security Info", there wasn't any "website", but there was a web. So I went to that, but there was no "Security Info" there, so I just closed it out.
Then, when I went to empty the recycle bin, there wasn't anything in it. I figured that there was supposed to be in it that related to the cleanup.

Lastly, as soon as I booted up the Ewido alarm went off, saying that there was a trojan present. I clicked "OK" to clean it out. But when I clicked on the "internet explorer" icon to go back on the web, the Ewido alarm went off again with the same warning. This time it caught 2 things, so I had to hit "OK" twice.

Then I went here, and now I'm writing this. So with that, here is the filelogs:

CLEAN!

Well, take a look at it all and tell me what you think, guys! And by the way, the info I've found here has been much appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks for all your help so far, LDTate. I did everything you listed, but there wasn't a file C:\WINDOWS\System32\dtjdkaaa.exe listed anywhere. So I went and found it in SEARCH, but it wouldn't let me delete it to the recycle bin for some reason. I restarted the computer and when it restarted the Ewido alarm went off three times. I promptly hit "OK" each time to 'CLEAN'. I then opened Internet Explorer. The Ewido alarm went off again, but this time instead of hitting 'OK', I made a note of what it said. Here is what it said:

File: mstsc.dll
path: c:\windows\system32
infection: trojan.agent.cs

Then I hit OK to clean it again. Then I did a Hijack This filelog. Here it is:

Here are my latest results. After completing the latest set of instructions and re-booting, the Ewido alarm went off two times, instead of three, with the same file, path, and infection listed earlier. The virtumundoBeGone ran pretty quickly without the blue screen of death happening. Here are the log files:
