CounterSpy v.2 has just been released. This is arguably the most powerful anti-spyware program available. It runs rings around any freeware you care to mention as well as most paid programs. It costs very little ($19.95) but the best thing is that you can try it for free for 15 days. So, if you want or get rid of spyware, adware, malware, trojans and keyloggers, try CounterSpy, you won't be disappointed.

Ok the pop up that you are getting are not legimate ANITSPYWARE companies or programs
You HAVE already been infected with spyware !!! (dont PANIC)
These prgrams are called FAlSE POSITIVES - basically telling you that you have been infected with spyware (usually 100's to 1000's) and to get rid of them you have to pay $'s, £'s - leave them alone don't click on them just for info then you will open them and also inflict yourselve to more spyware
How to get rid 3 solutions
1. Turn off you system restore (reason > you run a spyware scan but it places itself with in the system restore and spware scanners do not look in there > and your problem keep coming back)
2. Download two great spyware scanners and scan your system (what one misses the other will pick up on) >>> dowload from a secure and reliable site (no mirrors) www.download.com > 1. spy bot search and destroy 1.4 (in the search bar just put spybot) >>>>> 2. Lava soft ad aware (in the search bar just put AD AWARE) look for lava soft personal addition
3. Back up all you data files and do a full system recovery / or retinstall you operationg system
Hope this helps

Run a good program like Xoftspy. I don't believe they're so much as anti-spy ware ads as they're spy ware.
