Get an antispyware program

Answer 2

Is that advertising trying to sell you, one (or more) of these useless products? If it is one of these, then it is likely an infection called Smitfraud that is causing the phony warnings. It is scam advertising trying to swindle you. And a link to a free removal tool is down at the bottom.

If so, then you most likely have a serious Smitfraud infection and a free removal tool called SmitFraudFix with the removal procedure is here:

More infomation and another free removal tool called RogueFix can be found here:

Most "All-Purpose" malware apps such as AVG, Norton, Spybot etc unfortunatly can not remove or even detect this vile pest called Smitfraud.

Good luck.

EDIT:

System Restore was never intended to be used for malware removal of any kind. It must always be used with caution and the restore point must be chosen very carefully.

The chances are good that you ended up RESTORING some spyware that you had previously removed.

Sure, System Restore might be able to remove some recent spyware, but at the same time it is likely to re-infect your computer with some older spyware.

Answer 3

I suggest you download Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D (they’re free), install them, update them and run them. If they don't seem to be able to get rid of everything they report finding, try running them again, this time in Safe Mode.

Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.

To get into Safe Mode:

1. Log out and reboot your machine.
2. When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key
3. Select Safe Mode from the resulting menu.
4. The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different. You won't be able to see the Internet, for instance. You may have to log in as Administrator to delete the bad files.
5. When you're finished, log out and reboot back into normal mode.

Update and run both regularly, along with a good anti-virus package.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Hit start
Go to programs
find the name of the program
Hit uninstall
If uninstall is not there
Go to control panel
Go to add remove programs
Click on the programs name
Hit uninstall

When gone go to SUPERantispyware.com and download the free version of superantispyware, works great
What you have is a site that wants you to purchase their antispyware program

Answer 5

Try the methods above. Me I just reformat my computer. Also, from now on use Spybot Teatimer. I have never gotten spyware since then.

Answer 6

This has happend to me once. what you want to do is go to the system restore and restore it to a date before you downloaded it.
