“WARNING! Spyware detected on your computer!” help??

Question

I'm not sure what happened but all of a sudden I got a pop up saying I need to install some spyware remover and now I have a blue background and a message saying, “WARNING! Spyware detected on your computer!, Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer." I have install countless things and they either don't detect it or they do and I have to buy it. I have Hijackthis but I'm not sure what to delete. I have tried SUPERantispyware and AVG and nothing gets rid of it, though I think Hijackthis could but I don't know what to do with it. Is there any way to get rid of this using Hijackthis or another program that not only gives me a free scan, but free removal??? thanks.

I had basically the same thing happen to me. I had a small icon next to the clock read out, that would continuously blink. It turned out to be a trojan horse spy ware. After trying many things to no avail, I finally took advantage of Microsoft's (Windows Live One Care) software trial offer. It worked a miracle and even told me what it really was. It`s a free trial for 90 days and does everything to take care and even tune up your computer.

I recommend you use it, at the very least for the free trial period. Get it on the microsoft website.

Answer 3

Ok You're lucky to have even gotten on here because of this. I have been through the same exact thing. This is what you do. Go to "start" at the bottom left of your screen Click on "all programs" Look for something that says "recovery center" on mine it says "machines recovery center" But yours could be different. Whatever it says before that is ok. Just click it. Type in any information that it asks you for. After this it will clear your computer from anything and everything. It will be just like the day you got your computer. I warn you that it will remove anything that you have ever saved on your computer so beware. For me this was the only way. Good luck.

You Have The   Smitfraud virus.

I have had this security toolbar infection 2 times and fixed them both.

You Need.  A program called Smitfraud fix

Look up Smitfraud fix on google and you will get several links and instructions on how to rid yourself of this finally.

Other antivirus programs did not work for me, only the smitfraud fix.

Use that link to download the fix, follow the directions but most of it is automatic.

also spybot is good

Answer 13

There are popup ads that say things like that, but they don't always really mean there's a virus or spyware.  They just want you to go to their website and maybe buy their product.  If a message pops up out of the blue that isn't from a program you recognize and it says you have spyware on your computer and sends you to a website to buy something to fix it, odds are it's a trick.  (Especially if AdAware and Spybot and AVG are finding nothing and your computer is running normally.)

Answer 14

It seems that your computer has been infected by a virus =D

Well, do not fret.

Everyone does have those moments every now and then.

I suggest backing up all your files and then reformatting you computer to a pristine condition.

No? Well, you can install an antivirus program. I suggest using Avira Antivir and then let it scan and remove the viruses on your computer.

Downside of this -> Sooner or later, your computer is going to fail due to some important files which had been infected by the virus you had deleted. Not only this, you will most likely experience a huge slowdown after removing the virus.

So, go for whichever you like best. I suggest reformatting though =D
