System protection Centre

[Guest]

Please help - my PC was infected by spyware - I have got rid of it by my spy
sweeper software - but my PC keeps telling I have spyware - a small bubble
appear at the base of the screen from the task bar - the icon is a yellow
triangle with an explantion mark in it - it says the System Protection Centre
says you have a low protection from spyware - update your software. I have
but the pop up still appears - How can I stop this ?

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

forums for expert analysis, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Your computer is probably not clean. Go through the preparatory steps
here:

Then do the specific steps here:

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the link above (not here, please).

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).

Install and update each of the following:

Spybot: Search and Destroy 1.4

AD Aware SE

Spyware Terminator

Windows Defender

CWShredder

and your Spyware Sweeper with their latest updates/definitions.

Then, run each in "Safe Mode" so that only the minimum Windows services/device
are loaded. Quarantine any/all detected spywares that you come up with and
that you know you did not install (such as installing a VNC server application.)
