How to remove spyware popups off my desktop?
There is a sypware protect 2009 alert that somehow got on my computer by itself. It's on the bottom right hand corner of my screen beside my clock along with a couple other things. I want to know how to remove it because it's irritating everytime I'm on a site it keeps popping up telling my my computer is being attacked by a virus.

- You can remove it manually which I wouldnt recommend unless you really know what your doing or use malwarebytes download it and rename it to make it work.,

It's on the bottom right hand corner of my screen beside my clock - this is called smitfraud. spyware protect 2009 - rogue program. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic17258.html http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
- MAlwareBytes. It will be fixed, im sure. Try this first.
- Download, install, update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware, delete anything they find, if this fails to completely remove the virus/spyware download then update Avast and run a boot scan (click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC), all the software below is free and safe to use. Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php SuperantiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/ Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html To protect your PC in the future you'll need to install anti-virus software and a firewall, id recommend using Avast and Comodo Pro firewall both are very effective and completely free, you should also switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE as its much safer and a lot easier to use. (links on my profile) If you are unable to download the above software then its likely you are being redirected or blocked from downloading security software by a trojan called TDSSserv.sys follow the instructions below and should be able to download Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware which will remove your virus. start > run > type: devmgmt.msc > enter > view > show hidden devices > non-plug and play drivers > In the list of drivers right click TDSSserv.sys or TDSSxyz.sys where xyz are random characters, clbdriver.sys, gaopdxserv.sys, seneka or seneka.sys > disable > restart computer. Remember never download anything thats recommend by a pop-up.
