Other Computer keeps restarting & blue spyware screen?

Question

A blue spyware warning screen had popped up on my desktop. So i downloaded an anti spyware program and something happened with that saying that i need to restart my computer because there was an error with it. So i did restart it then from there it kept on restarting? And had another blue screen. What could be causing this???

Answer 1

it's most likely a smithfraud trojan !

now the question is which one

can you take a screen print and post it , these things can be a pain in the backside to remove and if not done correctly will  leave yo having to reformat , most spyware removers will not work ,

edit: anyone who tells you this is a virus has no idea what they are talking about , it's not a virus it's a TROJAN / MALWARE and will not be deleted by a antivirus program

i 100% promise you that

Answer 2

You have spyware/malware, not a virus. You have probably downloaded a rogue anti-spyware program which infects your computer further rather than remove infections. It is only too common..... The lesson to be learned here is "don't download anti-spyware programs from the internet unless an computer expert tells you exactly what to download". (I am such an expert -- I spend my days cleaning off infections).

Since your computer probably has a ton of infections you don't know about, here is my standard cleaning procedure:

NOTE: on badly infected computers, you may have to install and run the scans from safe mode. Some programs will be actively disabled or damaged by the infections. When this happens, just pick another cleaning program until you find one which isn't knocked out. Then reboot and try some of the others. Lather, rinse and repeat until you have a clean system.

Download, install and run the following:

ccleaner slim (removes junk and temp files so that the scans have fewer files to look through)

(anti-virus) Pick one, some infections disable cleaning programs, so try another until you can start removing the infections.

Good luck
