My computer is infected windows has detected spware
On my toolbar a message pops up and says your computer is infected. Windows has detected spyware infection. It is recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss. Windows will now download and install the most up to date antispyware program for you. Click here to protect your computer from spyware. I clicked on it and nothing happened. So I used MacAfee scan for viruses, spybot, AOL Spyware protection and Ad-aware. I did have some things come up after using these programs and I deleted them or got rid of them. But the message still comes up and says your computer is infected. So what should I do to fix this problem? I also tried to open up task manager but it want let me and this has happened since the message came up your computer is infected. It says task manager has been disabled by your administrator. So what should I do to fix these problems?
A workaround for this annoying popup
I got infected with this annoying popup too. I got the symptom to stop (i.e., the popup) by putting the cursor on the right lower toolbar, right clicking, open customize notifications, then setting the notification symbol for the popup to "always hide".
I have been told that Adaware 207 should be able to actually get rid of the program. Working on that now.
Good luck!! At least this gets rid of the annoying popup so you can concentrate on cleaning the system.
