following message keeps continuously popping up from the taskbar "your computer is infected windows has detected a spyware infection", i've seen this problem online before. People say that when u click the link you get taken to SpyAxe website, but when I click it, it leads me no where. I use to have HiJackThis installed but deleted it sometime ago. I went to download it again and installation worked perfectly, but when I try to run the program it doesn't open at all. I'm running SpyBot and SpywareBlaster, but only after the problem began. Dunno if something is blocking the spyaxe site or not. I manually shut down the computer before it could download anything. Dunno if the samething may be blocking HiJackThis, I've uninstalled it and downloaded it twice, both from different places. I've been working on the problem for 8 hours and I have no idea what else to do. Any help would be EXTREMELY welcomed. I'm seriously up to my whim on this one.

********UPDATE**********
I decided to start working backwards, so I deleted everything I downloaded today and was able to get HiJackThis to work again. Here's the log...
