My computer picked up the following items on 7/5/08:
Trojen:
trojen-downloader-zlob
Adware:
psguard/winhound fakealert
e404
antispycheck
and various tracking cookies.
I found this out from a free "BEST BUY" computer scan.
Okay!...the problem is when I try to start Internet Explorer. First of all it takes way too long to connect and when it does it redirects to a page that states " Insecure Internet activity. Threat of virus attack

Also insecure Internet activity can result in revealing your personal information.
To get full advanced real-time protection for PC and Internet activity, register AntiSpyCheck.
We recommend you to protect your PC now and continue safe Internet browsing.

I have windows xp operating system.
I tried spybot, avg7.5, adware2007 & deleting a few files of my own....which probably wasn't a smart thing to do but I don't think I did too much damage if I did at all.
oh yah, I did try combofix.....not sure if I did it right but in any case the problem still exists. I do have the log file. if it helps here it is:
