How to get rid of a spyware producing a pop up message declaring a System Error

Hi there,

I downloaded what it seemed to be a video codec to play a video through a website.  Now I constantly get an annoying pop up message appear every time I open Internet Explorer, or even search for something in Google.

Also appears when opening other windows or even while navigating in Windows Explorer.

The Message itself says :

System Error!

Your system is infected with a dangerous virus!
Note: Strongly recommend to install antispyware program and avoid a total crash of your computer

Click ok to download antispyware(recommended)
Followed by OK  CANCEL buttons.

Of course i immediately click the red cross to kill the pop up

If I use Hijackthis the resulting log is the following:
