I have an infected computer. No matter what I try, everytime I reboot my machine I have 2 icons on my desktop that say:
BDSM Galleries
Unsensored porn
I can dump the shortcuts into my trash, but they reappear withing 3 minutes.
More importantly I think I have bigger issues then the porn shortcuts. Every 10 minutes or so the triangular Windows Security Alert icon in my system tray pops up and says I have an infected computer. When I click the link it starts to go to a webpage called XPantivirus, and I close the page immediately.
Every so often, I also get a popup message that says:
WINDOWS ALERT:Critical Systems Warning!

I've tried using HijackThis and I can't figure out what to remove, and I suspect that I may need to dig deeper than HijackThis to fix this problem. There was a similar entry on this site that I tried to use to help me, and it suggested installing and running WinPFind35, which I did. But the fix the user posted was specific to his machine. I don't want to run any programs to fix this that were created specifically for someone else's machine. I've attached a txt file with my WinPFind35 results which may assist in eliminating this garbage from my machine.
PLEASE HELP!!
