spyware infection

window pops up stating
Windows has detected spyware infection
It is recommeded to use antispyware tools to prevent(actual spelling)
data loss. Windows will download and install the up-to date
antisdspyware
for you

Hello navy,

It is NOT widows security sending you that message!!!!
It is spyware.

Reboot your computer, tap F8 right at startup, and go into Safe Mode.
Rescan your computer with Spybot Search & destroy, and your Anti-virus while
there.

A very good antimalware app is SUPERAntiSpyware.

There is a free version (on demand scanning only), the paid for version
includes active monitoring, similar to Windows defender:

The message is from the infection, NOT Windows!

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjunction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachi...php?board=10.0,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or another appropriate forum for review
by an expert in such matters, 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 or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
