this site opens all by itself. I have webroot antivirus and spyware as well as the Webroot Firewall. Im running window xp pro sp2. I have this site blocked and restricted but it keeps popping up and I cant find the source of it. I recently had an infection and found 35 infested files and worms. Im new to this site and I dont really know where to post this at. I know that I got the infection on 3-16-2008. What do I need to do??????

The website posted tries to get users to download and install

Code:
http://www.system-defender.com/download/6010/MjI6Mzc6MTgxNjM=/SystemDefender_Installer.exe
which is malware known as TrojanDownloader:Win32/Adload.AX (Microsoft).

Most AV products can detect this file so I didn't add it to the malware listserv.
