I was looking for an online site to watch a movie on, and then this pop up came up, and I knew it was a bad popup and it was going to do something to my computer. (lesson learned!!)
I turned off the computer asap. then when I turned it back on, there’s this message on my desktop saying:
“Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! Install an anti-virus or
spyware remover to clean your computer.”
I don’t know where I can find any free places? PLEASE help!

This is a freeware website. Just look through the spyware section. I suggest you use SuperAntispyware and also Spybot searcher. great programs. ive had a good deal problems with viruses and spyware. because i do a lot of downloading. But yeah try that out. I think the same thing happened to my desktop. Blue background and red square box?
