Fake Windows Security Alert popup

[FoolishNoob]

Hello,

I am a stupid noob and I have been infected with what appears to be a malicious virus. I hope this is the right forum to post it in. I have been getting a very annoying pop-up which is a fake "Windows security alert". I did some research online and it seems that others have encountered this as well. My symptoms are EXACTLY as it describes in this website:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-re...nder-2009#first

Except there is a little twist.... instead of warning me about the "Fung" virus, it warns me about "iSpyNow" virus. Instead of trying to sell me a product called "Personal Defender 2009", it tries to sell me "Perfect Defender 2009". Otherwise, it is exactly the same, same popup window, same shady website, same everything. Thankfully I was not stupid enough to actually download anything from that shady website.

I have tried to run Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware 2008, and Symantec Anti-virus in safe mode. These programs found a bunch of trojans and other malicious files, but could not get rid of the annoying popup. I have tried to do a system restore, but this did not fix the problem, either. I have also tried running SmitFraudFix, but this did not help.

I downloaded and ran Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware, and did a full scan. It did find some more trojans that the other programs missed, but the annoying pop up is still there!

Help! I am getting desperate and pulling my hair out. The popup is very invasive because it will interrupt me about every 10 minutes and interrupt any program that I happen to be running. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am willing to do anything you guys ask at this point, and will gladly donate to your cause if you can help me!
