Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - I have a weird icon on my toolbar that keeps flashing

HappySupport · 10-07-2007, 10:47 AM

Well.. The icon looks like the windows security icon and it keeps flashing between a blue color with a question mark and a red color with the x but bigger than the authentic one. I pops up with a balloon saying that there are spyware applications on my computer and click here to get the antispyware solution. I know the program is a fake because I check online and got rid of it but somehow it does not show up on my task manager.

Heres the HiJackThis log.
