...help! What the HELL!!?? "Windows has detected a spyware infection." What do I do about this?

get rid of it. Durr.

This fucking bubble will not go away and my Maiden desktop is gone ( it's just black now). I have Norton running a virus scan... nothing yet.

Scan for spyware/adware, not viruses, silly.

you can use the program called Ad-Aware, it's pretty good and i've used it myself for a long time. It's free, and it gets updated quite often. I'm almost certain it will help you. I showed it to a friend who had the same problem as you, and it helped him to remove the shit. Myself have had tons of problems with spyware and adware, popping up on the screens constantly making computer impossible to use, even crashing the computer at the desktop everytime i turned on the computer.

you can dload it here:

a piece of advice.. either you stop looking for illigal key-cracks or porn in general... or, you could use the browser program called Opera, which i use quite often. I've had no problem with spyware ever since i started to use that browser instead of Explore. Of course, when i'm using it for general use i use the explore

good luck, Mess

Notice how he said "Windows" and not "Mac"

Sorry man, I really don't know what to do about that. Quick! All you computer savvy nerds jump in here and help him!

Stop looking at pron!

Get some kind of thing that searches for spyware. Virus protection will maybe not do it.

Computer c...r...ashing. Can't make it much f...u...rth.....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

just hold on! the helicopters will be 5 minungtes!!

The nwe can take it to a hospital!

Phew! That was a close one.

Thanks Asta for the download, it fixed my comp.


And btw, I'll be getting a Mac on my next computer purchase. I've been debating it for a long time now, but I think I'm ready for the switch.

there's also that Spybot program, it also works fine.

Fuck a Mac. Stick with a PC, you'll be happier. Trust me. And use Ad-Aware regularly. It'll pick stuff up constantly.

I got one of those once, I tried to use Ad-Aware, Norton and Spybot but my computer still died.

Well try AVG. It's pretty good. There's 2 types, the AVG anti-virus and the AVG anti-spyware. You gotta download the update files daily to keep your virus database up to date. Pretty good.

True that. I've got both.

Download Hitman Pro, it runs a series of clean-up programs and you don't need to do anything while it's running. It automatically configures everything.

I use AVG anti virus and adaware spyware shit. I hate fucking norton which bogs down your system.

If you remove your spyware and your computer keeps crashing check your memory out, could be a bad module, it happenns more often now with this new faster stuff for new processors. Especially if you start getting memory refrence position errors when you open shit up or start the comp.

And never get a Mac, ever.

Does it slow down your computer?

'Spybot' search and destroy, is the name. It will scan your computer and then get rid of any virus and such.
