IS THIS A VIRUS OR A SPYWARE

[elakirisasika]

Guys, Girls , specially computer experts,

Yesterday I visited 2 a website where we can watch video clips (dont ask me wat?)

when I tried 2 watch a video clip a message poped up and told that I have 2 install a special Active x control to view it and they gave me the link 2 install it.

I (like a fool) intalled it and from that moment I'm getting a message like this :

the message image :

It appears like from the windows security. But I'm damn sure that it is not

Blinking icon image

And always there is a blinking icon (above) in my windows notification area and it cannot be removed like other windows messages (whenever I click it , the icon opens the Iexplorer and it opens the follwing website)

website address

website : http://www.spylocked.com/?aff=334

website

Before I delete some of the files that I have intalled, there were many other notification icons in my notification area and they gave me the same trouble which the current one gives me

Though I've deleted many files, this infection is not yet going away

Is this message really coming from windows security option or is this the worm?

Please bro's and sis's give me and others who have this kind of probs a solution otherthan reinstalling windows..

Try Ad-Aware SE Personal... This must be a Adware...

One simple solution.....

try installing kaspersky and activate trial period.

Give it a full system scan........ that will remove this...
And if u don't like to do this then u can restore ur pc to a early date by using system restore....

but since u do not have enough security i think installing a proper virus guard will help u...

Good luck............. and be a nice boy........

[Alaya]

Easy way

You can do something like this.

I did it.

Go to task manager ------> Processes

Then you have select the process which is the Spyware.

You can go to program files folder & search for what the file is.

Then in the processes window right click on that exe file ----> End Process Tree

Then you have to go to program files and delete the folder.

100% sure.

Don't want any software.
