View 7 Replies View RelatedI forgot to turn my computer off last night at work and I came back to it this morning with a blue screen that says "Spyware Infection", so I ran Ad-aware and Microsoft Antispyware and between the both of them they caught lots of spyware. I've deleted them but the blue screen is still there. Another thing, when I click on IE shortcut I'm brought to a blue screen telling me that "my information is vulnerable..." and I have three links at the bottom of the screen and they all take me to the same website: spysheriff.com. I found a txt document in my local folder with spysheriff's site on it.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI came home the other day and my family's home computer had a bunch of internet explorers open telling me I'm infected with all sorts of viruses. In the bottom right corner of the screen there is a blinking yellow triangle with a black exclamation sign it that regularly pops up with a seemingly legitimate warning but I know its the virus. Also, on the desktop, there are two icon shortcuts to things called "Live Safety Center" and "Online Security Guide." Also I assume they're part of the virus.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy computer recently got infested with spyware. I managed to get rid of most of it with adaware and spybot but one remains. Spybot recognised it as 'command service' but will not delete it due to it being used by memory. All this thing does is slow down my computer when connected to the internet by opening heaps of Norton Anti virus email scans. How on earth do I get rid of this?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 on a Compaq Presario S4100NX and I seem to have a problem with the Windows speed.
It's not my internet, I have a fast connection and FF runs very fast and smootly for me. It's like typical Windows stuff. When I open up my Documents folder even when I'm not running much else, it takes long to load. When I open up a program, it takes much too long. I open up a MSWord document, it takes too long.
Everything seems slow minus the internet. I don't think it is adware/viruses/trojans or anything as I appear clean and my hardware is in fine condition. Maybe my computer is a bit old? Maybe I have too many processes or programs? I'm not really sure what it is but I'd just like to make my PC run faster.
