If anyone on here could help that would be lovely.

I was downloading what i thought was "Diary of the Dead" via bit torrent. when the download was complete I went to watch it in divx movie player when a messege popped up saying my drivers were out of date. Seemed reasonable. I hit the run button and well....

I now get a bogus 'system error' message everytime i open a window asking me to 'download the latest anti-virus software or my computer will crash' and any time i use search engine the results are either 'click here to win an i-pod', porn or said bogus anti-virus software.

I've run 'PC Tools Spyware Doctor' which found a trojan and claimed to have fixed it but the problem still persists. The Free AVG anti-virus software keeps picking up on a shell32.dll in my system32 folder but can't do anything about it.

Any ideas?
