how to remove spyware? my broswer keeps opening links to spyware remover pages but i dont know which to trust?

Question

i dont really remember how this spyware got into my PC but certainly it was when i was connected to the internet. it was i think a week before. at first i thought there was nothing when suddenly, a message appears saying i have a spyware on my PC and that i should download a spyware remover. however, friend told me that it's the spyware itself that keeps on poppong up telling me that message. i wouldn't have mind if it only shows up everytime i oepn my computer but then it's like every two minutes. it really is annoying esepecially when i'm working on something important. and then i also keep seeing ads about spyware removers. i just couldn't trust these sites. help please. . . . .thanks.

Answer 1

You may also try spybot, that is a pretty good one.

Answer 2

You've been infected by malware, which attempts to make you think it's helping you, when in fact it's wreaking havoc on your system.

I had a very similar experience recently where my system was infected by MalwareAlarm (which got past Norton and McAfee on two of my computers).

I used Spyware Doctor's free scan to check if it would recognize the malware, since it claims to work well against all types of spyware and malware. Sure enough, it found the problem and was able to remove it from my system.

There's a write-up of Spyware Doctor cleaning my system at the link below, along with download links and more program information. I hope you find it useful.

The best program to delete these unwanted culprits is a software called NoAdware, it's easy to download and has only a one time fee of $20, more if you want extra protection.
