Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer

Question

My background disappeared and was replaced with a blue screen with a blue and yellow box in the middle. I was just on the computer, downloading a torrent from a trusted site when a pop up appeared, asking for access to the computer. Thinking it was because of the torrent program i was using, i granted it access once. It said it was some unknown program and i think it caused my weird background. What exactly happened? Also, this is my dad's desktop, so i don't want him to know what i did or else i'm dead. I'm not very computer savvy also, so please give me simple and clear instructions on how to fix everything. Please help me!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Antispyware 2008 XP  is a new rogue anti-spyware that can be dangerous for your security and privacy. Antispyware 2008 XP claims to purchase itself in order to remove reported spyware and adware. But in real Antispyware 2008 XP produce false positives, it have no spyware detection and removal engine. Antispyware 2008 XP is a representative of badware family (WinSpywareProtect clone). It can bypass antiviruses and install other spyware to track users activity, save keystrokes and then generate targeted advertisments (pop up's, browser hijackers). Never download Antispyware 2008 XP, it's useless for spyware removal. If your computer is infected - use removal instructions or Antispyware 2008 XP remover.

Answer 3

Anti-virus software companies send may cause that type of thing, making you think a virus has been detected; when it hasn't.  I had one that made me think I had no options other than to download the anti-virus (and the logo and wording mimicked the Windows Defender logos/icons, so I wasn't sure).

If your father has an anti-virus/anti-ad program that can scan for that stuff run a scan.   If there are any bad files on the PC (even if not from the "blue screen" people, if there are, in fact, "blue screen" people) the anti-virus/anti-adware will find them.  

If you have seen any name of suggested anti-virus ware to download (in the screen since it happened), "find" files associated with that name on the computer, and delete them.

There's a chance that's not the problem, but there's a chance it is.

(There's a bad one that is something like, "Anti-virus 2009".  They use the exact words that you mentioned in your question.)

Answer 4

Install Spybot - search & destroy, update its definitions and run a scan on the desktop. It is probably a adware. Spybot scans and removes the infection using its secure shredder.It is a  freeware and lite on yoru system memory.
