read this thread and if you wish follow the instructions.(try it on your own risk).

i think your problem is a trojan called trojan.32.looksky,

PS: Never use Internet explorer !! unless you need Active X control,

Use Mozilla Firefox-faster, safer and much better.

sorry about my bad English . oh and good luck!

I tried several anti-spyware, anti-malware, antivirus, etc to eliminate this "privacy_danger" thing, but no luck.

You might want to try these:Delete every registry entry that has the keyword: privacy_danger. Just be sure you know that the entry that you are going to delete is belong to the BAD guy, and not belongs to another GOOD guy.

To do this go to START MENU> RUN > [and type: REGEDIT and press ENTER]
After you on the REGEDIT, press F3 (Find) to search entries with privacy_danger keywords.

About the screen, I go to Control Panel > Display > Click "Display Properties" Tab > Click Customize Desktop (on bottom left) > go to "Web" tab.

The default option on the WEB tab is "My Current Home Page", if there's another option that you know you didn't put it, it might be the job of that devil on the red screen that annoys you. Check the option beside "My Current Home Page" and click delete on the right side. Try to refresh your desktop screen after that.

Hope it helps. It works for my windows xp. At least until I write this post. Well, I got no pop-up windows until now...
