Successfully blocked access to a potentially malicious website 188.120.229.189

[WTierney]

I am getting Malware to popup the above Topic in my system tray about every 30 secs with the Port number incrementing each time it pops up. It also give me a "Process: svchost" tag at the end of the message. If I disable the wireless adapter on my laptop, the pop ups do not occur.

When I automatically log into the Administrator account on my laptop, the end of the boot results in a bogus "Department of Justice - Moneygram ....." insinuating that I've visited illegal websites and a demand to pay $300 thru Moneygram in order to return the desktop back to a normal condition. I suspect that bug is related to my opo ups.

I can, Cntrl-Alt-Del, and it allows me to login to another user account (with Admin privelages). When that account boots, it does not give me the DOJ bug and behaves normally, with the exception of the Pop ups.

I'd hate to reformat the drive, but if I have to, I have to!

Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.
