Spyware menace
I would appreciate if you could help us with a message that flashes on to our computer screen constanly with a message "Your computer is infected, windows has detected Spyware infection ...........Click here to proctrect your computer from spyware.
On clicking into the box it proceeded to download a spyware program which I did not continue with.
As I have Norton installed I checked the status which indicated that installed programs are working correctly.
Could you please advise the best way to delete this message.
Regards John & Julia (Adlington)
Hi John,
Yes you have a piece of spyware on your machine trying to sell you of all things a antispyare cleaner. don't buy their one as it isn't likely to clean much off you machine but clean some of credit card balance. I suggest you need to look at adaware and spybot to clean it off otherwise you may need to buy a professional spyware cleaner from pctools.
adaware and spyware are free from www.download.com
