I dont know how I got it. I use firefox and wasn't downloading anything, then my computer starts freaking out, my fire gets disabled, automatic updates get turned off, nod32 is fighting off virus attacks, i get a pop up for "spyware remover" which is obviously total bs, i've restarted my computer and its working fine so far, I'm running spy bot to see if i cant get rid off the problem

what should i do if worse comes to worse


edit: so i get the following logs from nod32 upon start up

1/1/2009 8:21:52 PM    HTTP filter    file    http://chertilo.cachefly...gl.exe    a variant of Win32/TrojanDownloader.FakeAlert.TF trojan    connection terminated - quarantined    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM    Threat was detected upon access to web by the application: C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe.

1/1/2009 8:21:52 PM    HTTP filter    file    http://chertilo.cachefly...08.exe    a variant of Win32/Cimag trojan    connection terminated - quarantined    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM    Threat was detected upon access to web by the application: C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe.

the same logs popped up now and again during a virus scan, and so did a blank pop up window

spybot found 12 spyware problems and fixed all of them

I hate to sound like captain obvious, but why dont you just buy or run a virus scan in conjunction with spyware/malware cleaners If the problem pops back up.  I mean I really don't know what else you can do other than doing that or formatting the machine.  I suppose you could also choose to just live with the infections and the annoying advertisement trying to get you to buy thier bullshit scanner.
