After becoming infected, I found Geekstogo via a Google search. I found several threads that dealt with my current problems and followed them to a T, but some issues still remain and will not seem to go away, regardless of what I try to do.
Thanks to this forum, I managed to remove many problems, restore the internet connection and restore the desktop. I've run Ad Aware SE, CW Shredder, Spybot S & D, about:buster, SpSeHjfix, CleanUp!, Spyware Doctor, Spyware Blaster, and completed a 45 minute full system online virus scan through Trend Micro Housecall.
These are the problems that remain:
1. The Red/Grey Exclamation circle still exists on my toolbar and the "Your Computer is Infected! Click Here to protect your computer from virus/ spyware threat" message continues to pop up.
2. The Trend Micro Housecall full scan found 2 infected files with 2 viruses on my computer which were both determined to be undeletable by them. The first was found in C:\WINNT\system32\intel32.exe and is called TROJ_HIJACK.F
The second was found in C:\WINNT\system32\wininet.dll and is called TSPY_ALEMOD.A
