yesterday my computer screen went blue and said that spyware has infected my
computer. I downloaded the sbc/yahoo spyware protector and Zone Alarm
firewall. Now, everything is slow, my computer screen went white, then I
tried to reboot and it showed my old background but no icons or start bar.
It was just blank. It seemed to be working, but there was nothing on the
screen except the mouse pointer. Please help me get it back to normal :)

If you have SpyAxe, PSGuard, Smitfraud, Sinnaka Advertisments or detections
for Puper or Alemod that can not seem to be removed automatically, please
try this automated removal tool.

AntiPuper v1.0 by secured2k
http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/tools/AntiPuper.exe

What does this tool do?
This tool will attempt to delete several known Trojan files. These files are
modified by the malware authors and encrypted to avoid detection.
Fortunately, many of these tend to use the exact same file names. If the
files are in use, locked, protected, etc, this program will schedule Windows
to remove the files upon restarting.

This program will also remove some common security policies that are changed
by viruses and worms. Policies that lock out your desktop changes, windows
update, Windows Firewall, Explorer Run policies, Registry editing, and more
are all reset.

Finally, if you have an infected Alemod WININET.DLL file, this program will
try to copy a clean version from your Windows File Protection folder and
replace the bad copy on restart. If a backup copy can not be found, the tool
will quickly look for McAfee Antivirus files and attempt to clean a copy of
the file to replace the bad one on reboot. If all of this fails, you will
need to manually replace/clean your WININET.DLL file.

Boot into safe mode (by usually pressing F8 at startup) and uninstall any
installed software that you put on before your software problems. Make sure
you have Windows Service Pack 2 installed (it has a built in firewall) and
your antivirus software and definitions are up to date.

If you want a good anti-spyware software, I've been impressed with
Microsoft's Anti-Spyware software (free for now):
