Hi, this is the first time I have used this site so don't know what to expect.
I have been getting messages popup (even though I have got pop-up blocker set to on in i.e.) and an icon on my systray that looks pretty much like a microsoft security shield but not quite. The messages that I am getting seem to change each time it pops up.
One of them reads, "Warning: efficient anti-virus protection software was not running on this computer.

Anti-virus software protects your coputer from destructive computer viruses, Internet worms and other online security threats.
immediate anti-virus scan is strongly recommended to prevent files corruption and loss of documents caused by viruses, spyware and trijan infections.

to scan your computer for viruses, spyware, trojans and other malicious objects please click the 'Next' button below.

I have attached my hijack this log for you to look at if you wouldn't mind?

Thanks in advance.

Hello schola and Welcome to TomCoyote,

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. Let's start with a few scans please.

STEP 1.
======
SpySweeper
Download the trial version of Spy Sweeper from Here

Install it using the Standard Install option. (You will be asked for your e-mail address, it is safe to give it. If you receive alerts from your firewall, allow all activities for Spy Sweeper)
  • If you are taken to the internet page, just close the page.
  • You will be prompted to check for updated definitions, please do so.
    (This may take several minutes)
  • Click on Options > Sweep Options and check Sweep all Folders on Selected drives. Check Local Disc C. Under What to Sweep, check every box.
  • Click on Sweep and allow it to fully scan your system.If you are prompted to restart the computer, do so immediately. This is a necessary step to kill the infection!
  • When the sweep has finished, click Remove. Click Select All and then Next
  • From 'Results', select the Session Log tab. Click Save to File and save the log somewhere convenient.
STEP 2.
======
The AVG anti-spyware program’s detection rate is excellent. After the Trial has expired, the auto updates and real time protection stop but you can still update it manually and run scans anytime you want.

First download AVG anti-spyware 7.5 from HERE and save that file to your
desktop.
This is a 30 day trial of the program
  • Once you have downloaded AVG anti-spyware , locate the icon on the desktop
    and double-click it to launch the set up program.
  • Once the setup is complete you will need run AVG anti-spyware and update the definition
    files.
  • On the main screen select the icon "Update" then select the "
    Update now    " link.
    • Next select the "Start Update" button, the update will start and a
      progress bar will show the updates being installed.
  • Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of
    the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
  • Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then
    select "Quarantine".
  • Under "Reports"
    • Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
    • Un-Select "Only if threats were found"
Close AVG anti-spyware , Do Not run a scan just yet, we will shortly.
  • Reboot your computer into SafeMode. You can do this by restarting
    your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears.

    Use your up arrow key to highlight SafeMode then hit enter.
    IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or
    programs while AVG anti-spyware is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning proccess:
  • Lauch ewido-anti-spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
  • Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab
    then click on "Complete System Scan".
  • AVG anti-spyware will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little
    time.
    Once the scan is complete do the following:
  • If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all
    actions    "
  • Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
  • Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the
    screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where
    you saved that file, this is important).
  • Close AVG anti-spyware and reboot your system back into Normal Mode and post the
    results of the AVG anti-spyware report scan.
Please post the results from SpySweeper, AVG anti-spyware report and a new hijackthis log.
