Anoying "System Alert: Malware Threats" message

[superjario]

Hi evereyone,

In the System tray of my computer (Windows Xp) a message keeps poping up with a yellow exclamation mark sign saying

"System Alert:Malware Threats Your computer is infected with a backdoor trojan
that allows the remote attacker to perform various malicous actions."

And when i click on the popup it directs me to
http://malwarewiped.com/?aid=237

Is this a virus? And can i get rid of it easily? Please help id be very very greatful.

Thanks,

Spyware. Download and run AVG AntiSpyware from the AVG Grisoft Free site... Also SpyBot 14, Adaware SE Personal 6.0, and Microsoft Windows Defender.
You might also want to run a free scan from Panda www.panda.com, and EZArmor from Computer Associates.

Thankyou both!

I already have AVG antivirus programme so i'll download the others you recommended.

Will this definatly remove it?

I get another popup aswel saying "Security Alert: Networm-i.Virus@fp... I suppose this is also Spyware?
