I have this icon on the bottom right corner of my screen called Spydawn that I can't remove. Help?

Question

I want to ask how do you remove this? I tried uninstalling it but it won't work because it just makes me loop the same thing over and over without uninstalling it, I tried using the task manager but I don't know which process to end because there's just to many, and I tried looking in windows and tried deleting the folder they all just wont work. So any ideas would be useful, please and thank you.

I also had tried using Norton's Anti Virus Software.

Answer 2

There is no need to buy any software to remove this infection. SpyDawn is a new rogue antispyware program from the creators of VirusBurst, SpywareQuake, etc. This infection creates fake security alerts in your taskbar as well as installing a fake antispyware application called SpyDawn.

We have a removal guide prepared here which contains only free tools:
