Spyware.....I think......



Yea that pops up like every 2 minutes from that little blue sheild icon, which alternates from that blue sheild to a red one with an X on it.

I have no idea what it is, I've scanned my whole system 2-3 times with norton AV 2007, then bought the 2008 version, scanned it again with no results. Then I also bought webroot spy sweeper and it found 69 malicious items which fixed some other things on my computer (like something had changed my homepage to some AV software site).

But this little bubble still keeps comming up and it doesn't get detected by norton AV 2008, or the latest webroot spy sweeper...

I was thinking about cleaning the hard drive off but I have a lot of things saved and don't want to bother with it.

Hey Shaf, Welcome to TSF.

Spyware problems are best dealt with in the hijack this section. The 2nd link in my Sig (which says spyware?) should lead you to the correct place. Read through the steps and follow them and the awesome guys in the HTJ section should be able to help you out.
