I've run virtually every recommended program (Spybot, Ad-Aware, System Security Suite, Clean Up!, Trend Micro Housecall, Panda ActiveScan, and Computer Associates eTrust). These appear to have cleaned up every virus, trojan, or other malware, and I've deleted various things using HJT. But nonetheless, a small red circle icon with a white cross keeps appearing in the corner of my taskbar (next to the clock), and it occassionally pops up a message that "Your Computer is infected!" I haven't clicked on the icon for fear it would lead to site that reinfects my computer. After two very long nights, I'm at a loss as to how to remove this silly piece of malware.
Here's my most recent HJT log, I don't see any problems with it, but maybe someone else can direct me. Thanks in advance!!!!
