a spyware program called pest capture downloaded itself onto my computer and it keeps displaying fake security messages which link to a fake anti spyware website. every time i try to delete it says it cant its being used and my anti virus scanners dont detect it so they cant delete it. how do i get rid of it?
 
Try your scanners and/or removing it in safe mode.

This was chosen as best answer in a similar thread:

Code:
"That's particularly nasty spyware. Get [b]SpyBot Search & Destroy[/b] asap. It's free.

Immunize your computer first after installing this. Then run a full bot check. Remove everything it finds using the Fix Selected Problems. Keep this updated and run it often."

Good luck,
