Recently I have discovered a trojan horse or virus on my machine. I get IE popups but I am not using IE, I use Firefox. I repeatedly used spybot, Adaware and AVG to find and remove all of the aboved named infections. Newly installed Zone Alarm now stops these sites from opening.
I did a system cleanup deleting all temp files, and I used ccleaner too. I tried to download and run AVG anti-spy but it caused my computer to crash.
AVG scan now reveals no infections.
Here's my Hijackthis log:

On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
