    Error 317 - Microsoft Internet Security Warning

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Every few minutes I get this popup:

    Windows is corrupted with spyware virus.
    You must patch your pc urgently to protect your system
    Private info is accessed by ports:
    -8080
    -3128
    You can patch your pc for free now and delete all spyware viruses
    Click ok to choose and download free spyware removal using AntiSpy

    Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP1

    I have run several programs to try to get rid of this problem; Adaware SE, XoftSpy, Spybot Search & Destroy - All to no avail. Everytime I think I have removed the problem, it comes right back.

    Attacjed is a HIJACK THIS log, I hope it will help to identify my problem. Thank you in advance for any info.

    Delete C:\WINDOWS\msmsgr2.exe. You'll have to set folder options to view hidden system files and folders.
    Open regedit and remove this registry entry
    HKLM\..\Run: [_Cat4] C:\WINDOWS\msmsgr2.exe
    Then do an online virus scan.
