Hi, I am running WinXP PRO, I usually don't use IE but a few hours ago I used it and then came back to my system. All the sudden I get two little red circle x's on the system tray area. Every few seconds there is a message saying "You system is infected and that you need to run a Spyware in particular that of Microsoft".
I ran "Hijackthis" and found the web browser was hijacked. After running "Hijackthis" I restarted the system and when I logged back in there is this blue background and in the middle with red letters it says "Your System is Infected" and that Spyware activity has been detected.

I ran Ad-aware, Spybot - Search & Destroy, Spyware Doctor. Nothing seems to be working in stopping IE from been hijacked and getting rid of this blue background as well as the two red circles in the tray. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Thanks in advance!!
