I have DefenderPro AntiSpy but it won't find the stupid things to delete the crap. I swear this sucks. Like I don't know sometimes the internet works and sometimes it don't but I don't know how to get rid of it and I'm literaly about to cry. Maybe I'm overreacting but I don't know what to do. I don't wanna tell my dad cuz he'll probably be mad! But I don't wanna wait and then have it mess up my computer. Anyone know how to help me???

This will tell you a lot about what is on your computer, such as running programmes,cookies, History, settings etc. and will help you clean up and remove unwanted items. Be careful how you use it as it is a very powerful programme and you should read the help index before you do anything with it.

It's important to disable System Restore before cleaning out viruses or adware/spyware or else Windows may just put it back. Spybot Search & Destroy and Lavasoft's Adaware are good freeware programs, update the definitions before running them. If you need help from your Dad to do these things I hope he doesn't get mad but has respect for you for being honest and telling him what happened.

okay.. itz just some spywares...
nothing really... in most cases.
I would suggest you try running Adware.
Good free-ware that catches spyware/addware and deletes them.
goto

install the Adware and make sure you update it.
good luck

It is a pop up window. Just x it out. Run an adware program, and a pop up blocker program. They want you to click on it so they get into your registry. Don't worry about it.

download and run windows defender in safe mode (when the computer is first starting up press f8 a few times right before the windows logo shows up). that should do the trick. you can get it here.

then uninstall windows defender to hide the evidence

I recommend Adaware for removing Spyware, simply deleting the cache may not get it all.

what the hell were you thinking when you bought that pieice of crap!? you should have gotten a mac! oh well, you can always reinstall the operating system, but make sure u backup any important files first, and check to make sure they don't have any viruses before you put them back on your computer.

Go to Microsoft's site and download their free spyware and give that a try.
