How did you remove it, I have one right now that is horrible and Norton says it removes it but it doesn't and malware bytes says it removes it but doesn't either. I need to get rid of this shit. My desktop background is permanently changed to "Warning dangerous spyware" and I can't get it off.

PM me the name of it and I'll bust my ass trying to find a cure in the morning. I don't know crap but know some very knowledgeable people that may be able to help.

Sometimes I think some of these Fuking things are Bullsh*t

I Find the ONLY program that stops these Viruses, malware, etc.
Is Microsoft Care One.

Gayke, while you´re at it, can you please find out how I can make my MSN Messenger open up my mailbox with Explorer instead of Firefox.

That's "Antivirus XP Pro." trojan. Make sure you do not click anything on the popups! That will let the big bad one into your system

But Malwarebytes should remove that one. Not sure where your problem is. Make sure you get it out of your memory too so that you don't just reboot and it comes back.

let me give you some advice in this area....I would get viruses on my PC once every 3 months...I know how to reinstall and reformat back to factory standard...you need a operating CD for this with a windows product key

after my last reinstall about 5 months ago...I started using 2 add ons for the firefox browser...and my PC has been running FLAWLESS ever since

the first add on is "Adblock Plus"

the second add on is "No Script"

I can choose what I want to open up when I visit pages....lots of things are blocked when I first go to a webpage

the add ons have protected me from viruses IMO

Yup. Agree here. Malwarebytes is incredible. I was pulling my hair out trying to fix a trojan I picked up and then I downloaded and ran this program & it took care of the problem in one scan.

Well now I get this Blue Screen
( NO, not the BIG BAD BLUE SCREEN OF HELL )

But a Blue Screen that tells me that I need to Remove or Disable BIOS Memory Options. Like Caching or Shadowing

I Can't even get into Safe Mode, keep pressing F8, Nothing Happens
