Following the frankly witless running of a suspect executable I've been having Win Antivirus Pro pop-ups. At the beginning there were a plethora of other pop-ups and spyware and other stuff going on, but I've managed to clear that up using a variety of anti-virus/malware/spyware products (as recommended by yourselves) and Hijack This, but the Win Antivirus stuff persists unfortunately.
Pop-ups occur at random times in both Firefox (v1.5.0.7) which I use regularly and IE (6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519) which I use much less frequently. These happen when the browser is open, but not necessarily when it is being used.
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 completely patched up to date including yesterday's vml patch. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Sun Java (1.5.0.8)
Last night I ran through your pre-post guide and did exactly as it said. Each program caught and cleaned various different items.
Here's my Hijack This log:
