antispycheck

i think i was trying to download activexplayer from a site and now i have an icon that keeps popping up saying i have spyware or something and that i should go to this site to get antispycheck. i did a mcafee virus scan found nothing. i did a webroot spysweeper and it found something dealing with the spysweeper which it quarantined, but the icon is still there so i dont know what i should do.

Hi,

Please download HijackThis from here(right-click the link, select Save Target As..., select your Desktop and press Save):
http://downloads.malwareremoval.com/HJTInstall.exe

Double-click the program and follow the prompts to install it.
After installing, HijackThis will open automatically.

Select Do a system scan and save a logfile - this will produce a HijackThis log in Notepad. Check in Notepad that Format->Word Wrap is UNchecked.

Please post it in a response to this message. Copy the contents of the log by pressing Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C, then paste it into your response by pressing Ctrl-V.

I will review the log and let you know how to proceed.

Do you still need help with your machine?

If the instructions are unclear or something isn't working, please let me know before proceeding.
