have a box in the middle of my desktop that states, warning, your computer
is infected with spyware.......
There is no box to close it, and I can not click on it to delete it.
I have changed the background, and it stays right in the mniddle of the
screen. I have booted up in safe mode and it does not appear, however I can
not find it, to remove it.
I have run ad-aware and Symantec, and removed anything that was on the
computer, but I can not get ride of this box. any suggestions?
