In my taskbar I have a little thing that pops up saying:
"Critical System Errors!
System detected virus activites. These may cause critical system failure. Please, use AntiSpyware software to clean and protect your system from parasite programs. Click this baloon to get all available software"

and when clicked opens an Internet Browser for "SpywareBursters" or something like that. (Affiliate link)

and looks much like a notice from the Windows Security Center. I can imagine the technique is quite effective.
I've gone through the self help steps (Adaware, spybot, avg, atf cleaner) to no avail. they all found some things (and I actually had 3 different things popping up like this) but one is left.

AVG Log:

hi pjleonhardt,

looks like this?

http://security-central.us/SafeHex/smitfra…downloaders.htm

we have special fix for that. read thru this sticky, download what you need, then follow along. at one point, running the "clean" with smitfraud requires a boot into safe mode, i would copy/paste the rest of the directions past that point into notepad and save them so you can read them in safe mode. just run thru the whole fix.
—————————————————————————————
after you go thru the smitfraudFix, do this: if you dont see some of these in the log dont worry:


scan with HJT, put a checkmark beside the items below, close all windows and click fix checked

hi pjleonhardt,

that last log looks good. some reference material for you:

Be careful of what you download, and where you download it from. Many programs come bundled with extra software.You may be installing more than you think. Learn more about the program, Does it come bundled with other "3rd party" programs? What do they do? If you search hard enough you can always find a "clean" alternative to any software. Check this database:Spyware Guide or this: Library before installing free/shareware.

Make sure you keep your Windows OS/Browser current by visiting Windows update
occasionaly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. These will patch flaws/bugs that can be exploited.

Adjust your browser settings: Change your(active x) settings in IE. With IE open go to tools, internet options, security tab. Click on the internet globe, then custom level. Set the first option "download signed active x controls" to prompt, the next two to disable. Read more:
