"ErrorCleaner, PrivacyProtector, Spyware&Malware Protect" Repeating Icons Popups etc.

[xcrunnerxc]

Hello, I really need some help here.. My computer just got infested the other day and I haven't been able to work because it's running really slow and I keep getting these pop-ups along with an "X" warning sign on my taskbar. I get a few different pop-up warnings. One of them says

"Spyware Alert

Security Warning!

Worm.Win32.NetSky detected on your machine. This virus is distributed via the internet through e-mail and active-x objects...etc"

Another is "Windows security alert. Windows has detected an internet attack attempt....etc". I also get internet explorer pop-ups to myprivacyguard.com and ultimate defender

I also have 3 icons that have appeared on my desktop. They are "Privacy protector" "Error cleaner" and "Spyware&Malware protection".

I have ran Ad-Aware and it finds the infected file. I delete it, As soon as i reboot its back. I have been reading other blogs and such and downloaded smitfraudfix. when i clean the comp with smit, it all seems to go away like adaware, but on restart its all back..

Please Help
