"Warning - potential spyware operation" - trustedantivirus

[ellieb]

Hi, I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can help me with this problem! This spyware continually brings up a message saying:

"Warning! Potential Spyware Operation!

Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and Internet files. Run full scan now to pervent any unathorised access to your files! Click here to download spyware remover ... "


It prevents me from opening Windows Security Centre, Control Panel, Regedit, and Spybot, and also keeps bringing up a little dialogue box saying 'copying...', like you get when you copy a file.

I've tried using Lavasoft Adaware, but it didn't find anything related to the problem. Here's my Hijackthis file:

Here's my Kaspersky log, also - thought I'd better add it, as it fits into one post.
