  1. Update &amp; scan?

  3. Firstly, antivirus programs will NOT remove these as they are malicious codecs, although they may find reference to them and remove it but upon rebooting it&#039;s back again.

  4. You are infected with spyware if:

    * You see too much pop-up advertisements.

    * Your browser has toolbars that you haven&#039;t installed.

    * Your homepage has changed (and you can&#039;t change it back).

    * Other settings have changed without your permission.

    * Your computer is slow.

    To get rid of spyware and keep your computer clean you can use an antispyware or even more.
