Hi, i have a icon in the 'icons' tray that keeps flashing from one logo to
another and pops up with a message 'Critical system error!' with a few notes
on how my computer is vulnerable to spyware etc.

when double clicking on the logo, i get directed to the following site:

luck. can anyone help?

Hi

Try searching for any spyware you may have on your system:

Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip
Spy Sweeper - www.webroot.com
Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

Also see the following links:

Also run a virus-check on your system with the latest definitions for your
anti virus program.
