Help with spyware/virus issue.

Question

When I log into WinXP I get a blue screen with a message that says Warning! Spyware detected on this computer! Install antivirus or antispyware program. It doesn't let me get to the desktop. It doesn't let me into Safe Mode. I can boot from a live linux cd and access the internet, but can't find any virus scan that will work this way. Any ideas? And I also tried a repair install of XP, that didn't work either.

Answer 1

It is a spyware masking itself as a bluescreen of death. When you click on those Ad's it install fake antivirus and trojans which gives the attacker control of your computer.

download this to remove that nagging Ad.
