I had fake anti spyware programs popup a screen over the desktop and a balloon popup from the windows tray area displaying messages that my computer was infected with spyware and telling me I needed to download and purchase their removal program.
I went through all the instructions in order posted by tashi in the forum "Smitfraud:SpyAxe, SpywareFalcon, and other desktop type hijacks". I no longer see the pop screens and balloons.
As per the instructions I will now post the rapport.txt, Ewido log and the HJT log for analysis. I'm also posting the SpybotSD.Report. Thanks for the help.
