The only problem I seem to be facing now is that I conintually get a Yellow Triangle with an exclaimation mark in it stating various warnings and alerts on the bottom right hand toolbar - the most recent message being that my machine has been infected by "iworm-attck_v122.02a) the message gives links to various site to repair this - but I think it is suspect!! Just received another message "Critical Systems Alert" with the option to click for sites to repair this.
PS I have also noticed that MSM Messanger appears on the desktop as soon as I start the PC - this has never happened before and am unsure if this is anything to do with my problems?!?!?
I have run Hijack this and fixed anything that I can see to be malicious, eg Search Maid and Virtual Maid, I rebooted the PC but am still getting this annoying and extremely frustrating yellow triangle!!! I am at a loss as to what to look for next and would be grateful for any advice you can give to me - this is the first time I have been affected and am really worried about accessing internet to do anything personal, eg buying on-line, etc.
The HJT log from this evening is as follows:-
