I contracted a virus a few weeks ago and after hours of research (and a handful of tantrums) I still have no idea how to get rid of it. I got the virus trying to download a crack for a game.

The problem:

Every time I change internet page I get a red box System Error! box which says the following:

(The message has also come up when I've been using a few other programs or on system start-up.)

I've accidentally clicked OK rather than Cancel a couple of times because when the box comes up the cursor automatically moves to that button. When that's happened I've denied the downloader permission to start but I've seen the names of the 'corporations':

ieantiavdownload.com

The other symptom is that my websearches are all being warped. It tells me I've been hit by porn and all the search results link to sites that try to get me to download fake solutions:

Popup installation request
malwarebellagreement.com

Also, conveniently, all attempts to look for legitimate solutions fail to turn up any results as a blank page is loaded.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get sort this out because I really don't know what I'm doing. If not, I have hijackthis so could post a log file if it is needed.

Thanks in advance,

Cubrea Ymtic
