I have this pesky windows security alert popup that continues to pop up about 30 seconds after i boot up my desktop. The entire message is this:
Warning! Potential Spyware Operation!
Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and Internet files. Run full scan now to prevent any unauthorized access to your files! Click here to download spyware remover...
I also have a red button with a white X in the middle and right beside it is a yield sign with a black exclamation point, which both tell me that my computer is infected. I believe if you try to click on either of them, they take you to protect.spyguardpro.com. I'm using spyware doctor on my computer so it blocks the site from being accessed.
I've had virtumonde and outerinfo and i took plenty of scans and figured that i got rid of it however i can't get rid of these icons or this pop up. I've tried scanning with spyware doctor, AVG anti- spyware, SUPER Anit-spyware, and Smitfraudfix. None of these have been able to fix my problem. I was thinking that it was a hidden file in Internet explorer like a hidden rootkit or something but i'm willing to try anything else at this point including using these programs over if need be.
This is my Hijackthis log:
