antivirus7 signup malware????

[blabberfingers]

The symptoms are false positives for various viruses leading to a sign-up page entitled antivirus7. It has rendered my I.E. Browser useless because of a page that pops up saying continue unprotected or signup which disallows further navigation to another site. When you click continue unprotected, again, you get led to a signup page complete with spaces to fill in your credit card information. I can use Firefox if I want to put up with a gazillion popups telling me I have a virus and leading me to their signup page. The following is HJT log and uninstall log. Thank you in advance.
