my computer was unprotected for a few days and some spyware broke in. i now have 2 problems that i can't solve.
1 - this annoying thing keeps popping up in the notification area telling me that my computer is infected (i scanned it and it's NOT)- when i click on it takes me to some security website where they want me to buy their software. it pops up about every 30 seconds and is slowing everything down. i tried everything (modifying notification area settings etc.) and nothing works
2- evey time i go online it automaticaly takes me to a different website that wants to sell me security software - even though my homepage is set to BLANK!
any help would be greatly appreciated!!
