There is some sort of spyware (SpyDawn) that has attached itself to my computer. It sends security alerts every 20 seconds or so. I have run my McAfee and cleared any viruses, that all came from this spydawn crap. I went into my control panel and uninstalled, but it only removed it from the desktop, it is still located on my toolbar and obviously still somehow on the computer. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it all together? Please...and....thank you
