Ooh… its creepy. This blue screen is on my desktop and it says "Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! Install an anitvirus or spyware remover to scan and clean your computer!" Then an ad pops up for a spywear cleaner: "WinIFixer". Yeah… $59.
Okay… so I scanned my computer with Norton and SpyBot S&D. Did both twice, but its still there… what is with this screen? And whats creepier is that after like 5 minuites of no movement on my desktop, a bunch of virtual roaches appear and start to "eat" my desktop icons… whoa.
So… whats going on? What do I do?
This is the latest version of SpyBot S&D, I downloaded it today when the screen came up.

As per my experience the best option is to take a backup of your data, and format.
After reloading your operating system scan the backup data with your anti spyware program / anti virus software and then copy on the harddisk.
Hope this helps.

You have a malware. I guess you can't open your task manager too? Download SmitFraudFix. http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.exe.
