Let me cut to the chase. I have a friend who recently got infected with spyware. Usually I am pretty good at fixing such problems but this was challenging. I ran all the Spyware Removal Programs such as Ad-Aware, PestPatrol, TrendMicro Beta etc, but nothing seems to help. I got rid of lots spyware but one thing resisted me. It's a red circular icon with white X in the system tray by the clock. I can't right or left click on it, it doesn't tell me what it is so I don't know how to remove it. Every time you point or click at it, it blows the nastiest porn pop ups and some NEWGENLOOK site. Then after the pop-ups a Error Message #317 comes up asking me to download some antispyware. Can you please help me fix the problem. Thank You In Advance for all your help and time. Here's the HJT Log file.
