Hi I have a IBM Thinkpad T20 with a pentium III running XP professional.

A program highjacked my desktop about two days ago. It turned my desktop black with a big WARNING sign about spyware with a place to click into for a solution. I think that this is an advertisement for some anti-virus company or something so I dont click into it. When a triangular :!: symbol appeared in my task bar I thought that this is my outdated norton antivirus telling me there is a problem. I click into the balloon and it takes me to what looks like a msn search page with a list of places to get anti-spyware. I had had a problem with spyware before on another computer and was able to fix it with help from a forum such as this one. I consider doing the same thing but I didn't have a lot of time so, after remembering how much time it took me the last time, I say to myself "I guess i need updated virus protection software anyway let me just buy this new package that updates daily for one year and get back to work". I buy winantivirus 2005 pro with the anitspyware and anti popup ad firewall package and proceed to install it. it tells me that I have to uninstall all other anti virus anti spyware stuff off of my computer for it to work. This dosent sound right to me and then i start to notice that it seems that the thing that had highjack my desktop was just and advertisment for the company i just bought my anti highjack package. I feel like i just paid protection money to the mob. :mad: did I get taken? any way I still have spyware on my computer. Panda has detected the same thing twice after I ran the WinAntiVirus. Below you can find the HJT log, an activescan report and the one from WAV2005pro. THank you in advance for any help with this problem. Peace G
