Trend Micro popup - malware gone?

It all started with my system crashing and me doing a system recovery. Then, before I could get my antivirus setup again I got some spyware and it took over the computer to where it couldn't run anything, so I did another system recovery. After that, everything was fine except there was a "delself" MS-DOS prompt icon on my desktop which I read can be not so great. So that led me to you. I followed the malware removal and the icon disappeared, but I'm still getting this Trend Micro popup everytime I turn on the computer. This has happened since the first system recovery and the spyware got on the computer. I don't remember if it was there before the other spyware stuff so I'm not sure if it is a legitimate popup (I feel it's not). I have never had Trend Micro products. Here is the popup and my logs are attached. Thanks for any help you can provide!

 

Here it is... I waited for the post to show up to reply again but I didn't see it for a while. The pop up below is the one I'm getting, I tried to insert it in the other post but I guess it didn't take. The address is http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/9859/popupve6.png if it doesn't work again. Also, I'm running Windows XP Media Center with Service Pack 3. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.





EDIT: No not need to see the screen shot.

 

Ok. I did avenger and GetLogs.bat and the logs are attached. FYI - when avenger rebooted the computer the Trend Micro popup came up again and there was an error message:

Try Again and Continue didn't do anything. I had to push cancel several times for the window to go away.

 

The zip file is one of my files put on after the spyware. It's not anything bad. I do have an external drive hooked up. That error occurred when rebooting from avenger. The only problem the computer is having is the Trend Micro popup every time it restarts. Other than that, it's running fine. I just wanted to make sure that everything was clean since I don't know where that popup is coming from. I'll remove Windows Messenger. Thanks for the help. Is there anything else I should do because of my external hard drive? And which of these programs that have been downloaded in this entire process should I get rid of? Or should I just keep them all on the computer?

 

Yes, the external hard drive has been hooked up the whole time. I disconnected it and restarted the computer and the popup still happened. I just briefly looked in all of the folders and didn't see anything related to Trend Micro, although I'm assuming that since it did it without it that the external hard drive wouldn't cause it.... but I don't know.

 

Ok. I did a search of the external drive a couple different ways for Trend Micro and nothing came up.

 

I ran a search of all hard drives and all that came up where the history files for the popups. Yes, internet explorer is the one opening the popup. Also, internet explorer isn't really used on my computer at all as it's not my default browser. Here are the startup items:

ctfmon.exe - C:\WINDOWS\system32\cftmon.exe
SUPERAntiSpyware
ehTray - C:\WINDOWS\ehome\ehtray.exe

Ok. New problem. Windows did some automatic updates last night while I was sleep and restarted on it's own. I woke up to a message saying windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. Please re-install a copy of the above file. How do I fix this? Any idea what may have caused this?

 

In reference to my last post. I was finally able to get the computer to restart with the last known good configuration (it took a while). avast! showed up with an application error for ashServ.exe - The instruction at 0x7e19dda refernced memory at 0x6608a058. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0xc000009c. Ok to terminate. Cancel to debug.

 

It's still doing the disc check...it's about 90% done and it's getting a little out of hand...so far it's listed 180+ file record segments as unreadable. That's bad, huh?

EDIT - Now, it's just past 92% done with 250+ file record segments listed as unreadable.

 

OK. It's over 300 with only 94% done. I had to stop keeping track of all of the file record segments. What does all of this mean?

 

I'm guessing it's beyond repair and I have to either get a new hard drive or a new computer. Which would you recommend? Is replacing the hard drive something I can do myself? Is this common for a computer that's only a little over 2 years old? I've never had a computer do this before. Sorry if it's gotten off topic a bit, but this is somewhat of an unknown territory for me as it's never happened.
