Protection Bar

Hey, I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but I was on the computer, and when i opened Internet Explorer I noticed this Protection Bar thing, which I can't remove. It has 4-5 tabs on it as well, adn its changed me homepage to: hxxp://protectionssoft.com/
When that page opens it comes up with a Windows style popup asking me to install something or other but I always click cancel. Also in my little Taskbar thingo at the bottom right of my screen, theres two new icons:

-One is a yellow hazard like exclamation mark saying:
System Alery:Trojan-Spy.Win32@mx
-Another is a Question Mark and something else.

Does anyone know how to remove this thing? I'm following this guide here:
hxxp://remove-protection-bar.org/?gclid=CIjXiIKArYkCFQMRYQodZCoIMw

and I was just wondering if that one is good or not? Help as soon as possible willb e appreciated, thanks in advance.

Actually I found the sticky and I'm going through the steps. Its still doing an online scan, and its already found 51 spywares. I've got HijackThis ready and Spybot S&D ready for once the online scan is done. What am I meant to post in this topic? The Panda scan has done barely anything (around 30,000 files) the bar is about a centimetre full...am I meant to wait for it to finish?
 
I managed to get rid of the Protection Bar with Spybot S&D, the only thing is, there is still an icon at the bottom toolbar, when I hover my mouse over it it says: "Systems Alert!"

I took two pictures, the icon switches between two things:

And it also occasionally pops-up with this:

I think thats the only thing left to get rid of. Help much appreciated

Those are the three pictures.

I couldn't do an online scan...it was taking way too long, but it found 50-ish spywares, if you want me to do an online scan then I will...Also here is the HJT log:

Hi Schweiny and welcome to the forums :D:

You got infections there...

You seem to have this Logitech Desktop Messenger program installed.The program is legitimate but a huge resource hog. I recommend that you uninstall it through Control Panel, Add/Remove programs if you don't use it. This would make your computer to run faster.

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/proc...processutil.htm

NOTE: Do not run any other options from SmitfraudFix until I tell you to do so!
 
Ah thanks. Yeah that logitech must be my webcam. This is the SmitFraud thing:

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Wow that's a lot to do lol, I probably won't be able to do it now, have to go somewhere. My older brother was asking if all this is safe etc. so I just need clarity on that before I do it. By the way he managed to get rid of those System Alert! icons on the tray thing at the bottom right.
