    Need computer help again!!

    I keep getting an annoying little popup from my system tray that says "Your computer is infected, Windows has detected spyware infection, click here to protect your computer from spyware"

    But when I do, the little popup just closes.

    I ran Norton antivirus, and several spy, and addware removers, and it is still there.

    Also, since this got on my system, my fire wall has been blocking neumerous attempts from some outside source to access my computer.

    Can anyone help?

    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    What adware/spyware removers did you try and what browser do you use?

    I used Spybot, and Ad Aware.

    The browzer i use is Explorer, except for my tradeing, I use Firefox for my charts (But still e-mail myself the chart codes out of explorer due to the cut and paste issue with Firefox).

    that little pop-up is spyware. the new thing is spyware programs that pretend to be anti-spyware programs. do not click on files like that. they just download more malware onto your computer.
