Answer 11

Spyware being "detected" is usually what hacker/spam website pop-up windows will say when they want to trick you into visiting a site that sells you the removal tools.  Unless your virus scan program, or your operating system is giving you the messages, don't believe it.  It may even be a pop-up designed to look like a Windows message.

Best bet is to disconnect your computer from the internet, then see if you get the message.  Chances are that your just visiting the wrong sites.

Answer 12

Answer 13

Be very careful ! If you are getting a desktop or browser pop up that says this then it's probably a fake. Any warning message that contains a link to download a specific spyware or antivirus program is just trying to trick you. Downloading one of these programs can put your computer and identity at risk!

This Squidoo lens has detailed graphics and lists of the difference between "fake" and "real" warnings.  It also tells you how to get rid of the message.

Answer 14

if the software you are using allows you to, remove it and/or delete it. If not then bring it to someone to fix for you or download spybot:

scan, remove, then click immunize, then scan again. if the same thing appears after your second scan, you may have a serious problem. You might consider taking your computer to a professional.

Answer 15

Close that window. If it was a pop up, its an ad trying to get you to buy their software and chance are it was preexisting spyware giving you that message.

If you think you have spyware or a virus on your machine, download and install Spybot S&D (its free) install and run it on your computer.

Also checkout trendmicro.com housecall for a free online virus scan. NEVER click on a "you may be infected with spyware" popup

Answer 26

malwarebytes is a free program created and updated by some very skilled and knowledgeable individuals. You can download, scan, and clean your hard drive all for free, and you can pay for a version that automatically updates and protects you from further infection.

It is often more up to date than commercial spyware protection, and can usually catch more bugs.
