Fake spyware removal software?
w_danko asked:
I have a pop-up screen showing on my desktop every couple of hours saying that I need to install a spyware removal software. It wants me to install their speciic software. I have tried using spybot but that message is still popping up. When I click on it it takes me to this page
http://www.antispyware-review.biz/?wmid=4663&pwebmid=1SOMv2YyoD .
I have a feeling that it is a spammy website. My McAfee scan is not showing any viruses and I ran the Spybot a couple of times and the message is still there. How can I remove it?

Do not click on that link, this is a form of spyware and to get rid of it you might need to run another spyware program because maybe spybot missed it. Here is one that you can download and install, it is very good and I highly recomend this program to others who are looking for a good and Free spyware program. (http://www.superantispyware.com) click, download, and install, after you finishing installing start a scan right away. And don’t worry about spybot as you can have up to 2 spyware programs installed on your computer. This spyware program will catch and destroy so get busy. Good Luck

To clean up your virus/spyware problems
Update your anti-virus [If you do not have one]
Update your anti-spyware software. [if you do not have one]
or [free home edition]
Restart your PC in safe mode
And run a full scan with both.
You may also want to have a look at your start up items by using msconfig.
Be careful with the items you uncheck, you can have a look here to see if they are necessary
You should also have a look at your IE Add-ons.
Disable any you do not use.
After you reboot back to normal mode, down load and install ccleaner to fix any registry problems.
