Windows has detected spyware infection!

[Guest]

I have a red circle with a white X in the middle that I can't get rid of.
Every 45 secs. or so a message pops up that says:

(Your computer is infected.

Windows has detected spyware infection.

It is recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss.
Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you.

Click here to protect your computer from spyware! )

But when I click on the box, it just disappears and nothing else happens.
How can I get rid of this. I have Nortons, did a scan and it showed nothing.
I also downloaded Windows Defender and it showed my computer as running
normally. Help please!

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:
