read this:

please read this message carefully.

your pc is infected by spyware. spyware and other unwanted software refers to programs that perform certain tasks on your computer, typically without your consent. this can include installing pop-up advertising or collecting your personal information. anti-spyware tools can only help rid your computer of spyware.

click "ok" to get software and special offers on antivirus software

|OK| |Cancel|

OMgggzzz, you nubzorz (Just like your rank)

If you want a fast, (not best) and easy spyware removal tool, go to www.yahoo.com and DL their toolbar which comes w/ antispy.

If you want pro spyware removal system that is there for the sole removal of spyware and checks your whole system, but requires many steps, go here: http://jayloden.com/spyware.htm

(I reccomend getting the Yahoo toolbar first, and if the problem persists, go to the jayloden website)

Oh, and if that's not a Windows (if that's what you're using) pop up, than that warning itself is probably spyware/adware.

(trust me, adware compared to spyware is NOTHING)

I already Told you what I would do on Google talk... and that would be my best suggestion. Get Microsoft Antispyware Beta. MasterT will say otherwise, but it HAS helped me on the other computer, A LOT.

im sure it helps. maybe not with the computer i have now, b/c my old motherboard crashed and the computer guy we took it to cleaned out tons of spyware programs on it. but seriously, just download the microsoft antispyware thing, and ignore any other pop ups u get b/c thats just what they are: pop ups.

I get almost none...even from websites that sends many popups.
Idk what blocks it, but I think it's my Norton.....it's crazy!

And yeah, Ad-Aware is good too.

Btw, that Microsoft Beta thing isn't as good as Yahoo Anti-Spy imo.
It's crazy slow too.

I have Ad-aware, spydoctor, and a few others.... I like spyware doctor the best but you pay for a year subscription for it. But yeah if something like that pops up it's spyware itself.

Lol, I just got a spyware last night, because I DL'ed this supposed DVD ripper (which turned out it ripped AUDIO from the "DVD") so I removied the program, then I did a scan w/ Yahoo (what I do first becase it does the quick scan) to see if it left any little bugs behind, and I found the spyware there.

So I deleted it, restarted my computer (because it said I had to to something the changes) and did a full system scan w/ another program (Trendo Anti-Spyware, another good program but not free...I have the trial) and it was gone!
YAY!!!
