Antiviurs XP 2008 and Desktop Hijacked by Blue Screen; Warning: "Spyware Detected..."

dislikesmalware · Aug 5, 2008

I was recently infected by Antivirus XP 2008. I Googled the problem to see if I can get any help and one website had some manual removal instructions on how to individually delete Antivirus XP 2008 files. I followed the instructions as best as I could and restarted the computer. The desktop is still hijacked but the frequent warnings that I was getting before don't seem to be popping up anymore. Every now and then, a fake Firewall warning pops up warning me about a Trojan. I don't think I solved the problem in full. Below is my HJT log:
