Last night a program claiming to be antivirus protection took over my computer and it kept me from running almost all of my programs and changed my internet proxy settings. I ran several scans with different programs and they found spyware and trojans. I followed the proper steps in removing them, but this "antivirus protection program" is still on my computer. When I looked at task manager, I saw this program is named "gqadhtctssd" and when I end that process, the antivirus program closes, but it's still there when I restart, so I'm sure my computer's still infected and I'm not sure what to do. I ran a scan on HijackThis and here's my log:
