Windows has detected Spyware

[Guest]

I currently have Zone Alarm Suite - anitvirus and antispyware - and Ad-Aware
SE antispyware softwares. I have done multiple scan in each, deleted all
"at-risk" files, and yet Windows still detects spyware on my computer. There
is a warning indicator in the toolbar on the far right side, and it keeps
telling me that there's spyware, but I am unable to open it to see what it
is. What can I do?

Hi,
This warning is almost certainly coming from malware- not Windows. You
should post a HijackThis log
for analysis. Start at
http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=4075 Then go to
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm Work through the preliminary cleaning
steps then post a HijackThis log to the forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30

Be patient. It's a busy forum at times.

HijackThis logs are also analyzed at these (and other) forums. Look for the
proper forum and an "Important- Read This First" message so that you follow
proper procedure.
