Is there anything I could use for Antispyware popups?

Question

Ok this is what comes up on the top border of my screen!

"Warning: possible spyware or adware infection! Click here to scan your computer for spyware and adware..."

I can't exit it out. If I click it it takes me to another screen. I had the search and destroy thing on it. Then i had superantispyware then I tried the adware. None of those wrok to keep the pop-ups away! I already have mcaffee on this but it's useless. what do i do?

Answer 1

PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE you can make your PC not boot if you delete the wrong files.

The programs I use to find,clean, and delete trojans/virus

1. AVG

Is that scam advertising trying to sell you, one (or more) of these useless products? Don't buy anything that it is advertising It's a scam! 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.

There are others. The "black-hats" are adding more rogue programs weekly.


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.

Answer 3

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following linkhttp://www.computeractive.co.uk/. On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

Answer 4

I personally use the google toolbar. it has a decent popup blockeer. I would also download spybot and adaware from download.com and run them on the computer to kill your current infections.

Answer 5

I would also do a deep scan with this one.

And I use this one every week to stay spyware free.

Answer 6

Google for terms Vundo and Smitfraud infections.
