My computer has been infected by "something" that makes my internet explorer to display "about:blank" instead of the home page I have requested and also is giving me pop up windows all the time that ask me to click there in order to clear my PC from spyware. Obviously I don't!
I have run today Spybot and cleared 13 harmfull items and also AVG which cleared 6 viruses.
Then I restarted my PC and i got a "Your computer is infected" pop up from the notifacion area on the task bar.
I did scan my PC again with both Spybot and AVG and the scans returned clear results.
Why Spybot and AVG can't fing anything wrong when I still get this annoying "Your computer is infected" from the notifacion area?
Is my PC still infected? What should I do?
Below I am attaching the Logfile of HijackThis that i have just run.
I would really appreciate your assistance on this.
Many Thanks,
Vangelis
