I keep getting this SpyShredder pop up on my computer that's almost impossible to delete. Anyone else having this problem? And what can I do about it?

This is not a problem at all. Here's what you need to do.
1st, don't waste your time with AVG, spybot, ad aware, CA, spyhunter, superantispyware, avast, panda, kaspersky, spyware blaster, spyware guard, windows defender or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE when it comes to spyware and antivirus. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.
2nd, You need some of the best software out there. Norton Systemworks is very good. That's the only good software from Norton. I wouldn't recommend Norton Internet security, its not that great. Now the best software you should get is Spysweeper with Anti-virus, this software is too good and gets better everyday. This is Elite software. It blocks over 438,000 definition threats, which contain several fringerprints with each(you can do the math). No other software can compete with that or come close for that matter. It catches everything and has active shields. I've used them all and it is 2nd to none.
3rd, after you install and update the software, since its in your system you will have to turn off system restore and then go into safe mode and run the scan and eliminate the virus. then after removal, reboot and turn system restore back on.
4th, (Optional) I recommend a Firewall from Zone Alarm, their free version is so good. Or you can buy their Pro version, but the free version will do more than the job.
5th, any probs during or after you do all this, send me an e-mail or IM. I guarenDAMNtee my answers and will help you in person from IM if needed.

What these programs do:
SpyShredder, or Spy-Shredder, is the successor to the rogue anti-spyware program called SpySheriff . SpyShredder is installed on your computer without your permission through the use of Trojans and other malware. Once installed, the Trojans will display messageboxes on your screen stating the following:
"NOTICE: If your computer has been running slower than normal, it may be infected with Viruses, Adware or Spyware. Spy-Shredder will perform a quick and completely FREE scan of your system for malicious programs. Download Spy-Shredder for FREE now!"
What it purposely not telling you, though, is that when run SpyShredder is run it will display fake and exaggerated results and then require you to purchase the software

Haha yet another woman messing up her computing gadget. ladies are so dumb! you're already contaminated with secret agent ware. pass to Lavasoft's AdAware software, acquire it and eliminate the spyshredder malware. do no longer purchase SPYSHREDDER FOR $20!! it incredibly is going to thieve your passwords and credit card counsel maximum possibly.
