Hi, guys, i need seriously help.
Yesterday, while i was surfing the internet, my computer suddenly froze then restarted stated with warning stating: "Warning, your computer is infected with Spyware!" I had to boot my computer in "safe mode."
I found the spyware, its called "Antivirus XP 2008." Unfortuantely, I am having problems getting rid of it. I downloaded free trail spyware off of some site. It fould 343 spywares on my computer including mentioned above. So I hit the "delete" key to get rid of it. My computer "got rid of it" or so i think it did...i say this because when i rebooted my computer again in normal mode the "Antivirus XP 2008" starts again. I went to control panel as well as the spyware's folder to uninstall it, it did. I don't have it showing anywhere, but it keeps reloading when my windows start. WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!!
I tried system restore, but i can't go back to previous month of June. It only give me option for yesterday July 6th. :nuts:
Also, after I supposively got rid of this spyware, my "Appearance and Themes--Display Properties" is ONLY showing "Themes, Appearance, and Settings," with no "Desktop and Screensaver" showing.
I have Windows XP 2000, I use Windows Defender (works perfectly in defending against adware) w/ no spyware, and i use Norton antivirus 2003 free from Penn State. Lol
Please, please help me. I desperately need it. How can i bring my computer back to normal.
Thank you!!!
