i have these annoying things in my system tray saying that i have a virus, i assume that they ARE the virus, and these popups keep coming up for crappy "known to be corrupt versions" of virus and malware protection programs and occasionally porn. I ran my virus and spyware programs, and did a system mechanic run, but nothing is making this stuff go away. please help.

here is my hijackthis log:

Please download SmitfraudFix (http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip) (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

Well, everything seems to be in order now, i had a friend come over and he did some stuff and i showed him your post and he did some more stuff. Basically I let him have at my computer and everything seems ok now.
Thank you for your help.
