    Please help!

    I get the following popup in the notification area of the taskbar:

    "System Alert: Malware threats
    your computer is infected with a back door trojan that allows the remote attacker to perform various malicious actions. Click this baloon to download malware removal software."

    I also get popups from Internet Explorer eventhough I actually use Firefox as a browser. I have Windows Vista and have Panda Antivirus and Adaware installed.

    See Hijackthis log below:
