I hope someone can help - I'm completely lost on this one.
I did something very stupid .... I downloaded an executable file from a site that wasn't 100% secure (simulator games site & other warez stuff). I checked the file with AVG 8.0 before running it and it got a clean bill of health, but since running it any time I either try to change or open a new page on internet explorer or try to open a folder in Windows Explorer I get a fake security message advising me:
Attention, Dangerous Trojan horses detected in your system. Microsoft Window XP files are corrupted. This may lead to the destruction of key files in C:\Windows. Download protection software now! Click OK to download the antispyware. (recommended) and then shows two buttons - Yes & No
I know enough not to click on either the Yes or No buttons.
The pop-up that comes up cannot be closed by either clicking on the x in the top right corner or by right clicking on the info bar. The only way to close it down is to enter Task Manager and end the program from there. It freezes the program that was being used when it pops up and this closes when you end the security error.
It doesn't effect Firefox.
I've run AVG8.0 and it gave a clean bill of health except for one warning as follows:
HJLM\SOFTWARE\Perfectnav Found AdwareKeenValue
I tried to heal it using this, but no luck.
I've also run Ad-Aware SE and it found 3 dangerous objects and supposedly healed them - but still the problem persists.
I have already deleted the file that I downloaded and emptied my recycle box.
I downloaded Hijack this and the log is as below:

End of file - 9146 bytes
I've downloaded killboot.exe but don't know which files to destroy
I've deleted all the files in the windows temp file (and WI NT Temp)
I think the problem is in my registry, but don't know how to get to it with windows explorer no working - I'm also not sure what I should be looking for or deleting.
Any help greatly appreciated.
