[RESOLVED] Manual delete for SpyCrush ad

Hi
I need a method of manually deleting that little blue/red flashing shield icon in the system tray that says 'System alert! System has detected a number of active spyware applications that my impact the performance of your computer. Click here to download an up-to-date antispyware solution'. It's not an amazingly serious threat, but it is a tad annoying.

Hamish

Re: Manual delete for SpyCrush ad

Hi Hamish

Actually, it is a reasonably serious threat and requires specialised tools to remove. It will likely have invited some friends to the party as well.

Start here and follow the instructions.

Please note that the HJT Forum is always busy, so I would ask that you be patient and we will get to you.

Re: Manual delete for SpyCrush ad

Yeah it did, but I found the rogue processes and booted in safe mode and deleted them. Since then everything's been working fine apart from that.
