Hi

I have STOPzilla anti-spyware and whenever I start the pc it comes up with a
pop-up identifying an infection termed 'Fake Windows Alert Notification
Service'. It identifies this as adware. I have no idea how it got onto my
system. I agree to remove it through STOPzilla and re-boot my pc.
But it comes up again when I swith the pc on! can't seem to get rid of it!
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Download, install and update Spybot Search & Destroy and Malwarebytes.
Then scan in Safe Mode.

http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.
Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.
Then SCAN with it.
Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight.

Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover!
For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from
Download.com, or Major Geeks.com

Download, install, and update.

Important re: Safe Mode
If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow
key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER.
RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D
while in Safe Mode.

If unable to install above Programs in Normal Mode:
Sometimes Trojans, Viruses, Malware, etc stop you installing and/or updating
Programs to remove them.
If that happens, reboot into Safe Mode with Networking, and install, update
and scan from there.
