I now have a piece of malware that creates an icon in the right hand side of my task bar. When moused over, it reads, "WARNING: Your computer is infected'
Win

If it is clicked on, it reads, "WARNING: Your computer is infected -- Windows has detected spyware infection! Click this message to install the last update of Windows security software.."

Also, the bubble with this text pops up QUITE frequently, and if there's a way to stop that BEFORE removing the malware, I would like to know that first, because it is highly annoying.

HijackThis log follows.

THANK YOU!

Welcome to the forum, You know the only thing I can say for sure is that it appears you missed the directions:
"BEFORE you POST" Mandatory Steps Before Requesting Assistance http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
Please read and follow those directions. You can wait on the online scan, I can see probable Smitfraud and also Wareout, so we have our work cut out for us. Expect it to be hard and to take a while, this would be one other option:
When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10063

If you wish to proceed, then do so by following these instructions carefully.

1) http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php <<< download Smitfraudfix from that link and follow ONLY these directions:
Search:
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select 1 and hit Enter to create a report of the infected files. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

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/processutil/processutil.htm

2 Thanks to LonnyBJones and anyone else who helped with this fix.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your Desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.
Once the desktop loads post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log in the forum please.

Post the C:\rapport.txt from Smitfraudfix, the report.txt from Fixwareout and a new HJT log.

Thanks
 
Very sorry I didn't follow procedure, and thank you for taking the time to help me out. I thought I read the right "READ ME FIRST" but I guess not.

Anyway, here is the correct information you need.

Thanks for returning your information, I need your help here, some of this stuff is scanning as Smitfraud, see this:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [bal] D:\Program Files\WinMsg\SYSMONMS.EXE
http://www.castlecops.com/s14232-bal.html

and this: O2 - BHO: StrangeBho Class - {0B9B7B2E-30E3-4C5D-AD2C-C38724979B4B} - D:\PROGRA~1\WinMsg\notepad.dll
http://www.castlecops.com/CLSID.html
StrangeBho Class {0B9B7B2E-30E3-4C5D-AD2C-C38724979B4B} X BHO notepad.dll Parasite, detected by AntiVir antivirus as TR/FakeAlert.DO.1 - a member of the SmitFraud malware family

It is rare for CastleCops to make an error, but when I scan this: WinMsg <<< I get this link: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/14471.html
If you know anything about this stuff then please do not follow these directions, if you have no idea why it is on your computer, then do this:

How to make files and folders visible:
Click Start > Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck: Hide file extensions for known file types
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.
You may reverse this for safety when we are finished.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/content/view/25/2/
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Just to let you know I work weekends..so I'm a little away from the home PC these days. I received your help and I'm going to act on it in the next day or so - thanks you, I won't disappear before this is resolved.

Click to expand...

Honestly I have no idea why that stuff was on the PC. I therefore followed all instructions, and the computer is running like it did before the infection. New HJT to follow.

I think you zapped it, but I don't want to jinx it. Take a look if you would please.

Thanks for returning your information, your HJT log looks good, just a little information for you and I will turn you loose.

1) You Java Program needs to be updated, see this information:
http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.php?p=12880&postcount=2

2) You are running at least on p2p program and while the programs are not, many of the files are illegal or dangerous, you may want to view some of this information:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=p2p+file+sharing+dangers&btnG=Google+Search

3) Please remove programs we download for this fix, the exception is ATF-Cleaner, you may keep that nice little tool if you wish.

4) System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
