Answer 4

Spybot is a good program, but it won't fix this problem.  Before you download a malware removal program, first do this...

If youre running a Windows OS:

Go to My Computer

Click on C:

Click on Program Files

Look through the list to see if you find anything named antispy.

If you do, delete it.  If you don't keep reading

Go to Run

type regedit

press ctrl F

type antispy

delete any entries that have the title of antispy or something similar

If that doesn't help then try a malware remover

Good Luck!
