Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Spyblocker Pop-up

braddds · 06-26-2007, 03:55 PM

I have a pc that shows a "Spyblocker" pop up indicating several threats running. If you click on the icon, running in the system tray, it launches a web page where you can download it. This acts just like the spyware it claims to stop.

I've done a search and have found it (Spyblocker) called "spyware" to a "great product"! Regardless of which it is I'd like it gone. I have run Hitmanpro but no joy. I used WinXP "safemode" option in Hitman and it (Spyblocker) was still running in the system tray, making it impossible to remove.

The person claims he downloaded or installed nothing.

Has anybody any experience with removing this trayicon?
