Spyware? Error 384 in my desktop

cschandramouli · Dec 6, 2006

Hi all!
I've been getting this Error 384 thingy in my desktop every once in a while. I get a small message window saying my computer's been infected and I need to click on the link to get rid of it. Also, my desktop turns blue and I get messages like my computer's infected and I need to get rid of it and all that stuff. I thought it was a message given by my anti-virus program and so I tried clicking on "Click Here" link which only took me to a link that starts something like -- "www.2-anti..." sorry I don't remember the rest. I'll get it the next time I get that screen. The link simply results in a page not found screen.
I browsed theough the net and forums and found that it usually appears in IE browser, but in my pc, it shows in the desktop!!! Also I ran Spybot S & D, Adware away 6.0 to no avail.
Finally I decided to go with HijackThis and ask for help. I didn't find any secure32.html or something like that as listed in many forums, so I'm turning to you as I can't understand what's harmful in that log file and what's not.
Guys, I really would appreciate your help coz it's really annoying, this screen is. I've attached the hijackThis log.

Thanks you all
Mouli
