My computer started acting crazy, so I downloaded the 90 day version of Norton and ran the scanner and everything and it sai it removed 6 spyware trojans or what not. I already had Adware on my computer, but somehow it didn't catch the spyware. Even after removing what Norton found, the pop up screen keeps popping up every 2 minutes.
I declined to order the spyware program that pop up windown kept recommending figuring it was more software. Does anyone know how to completely remove whatever spyware is lurking in my computer and what program to use since Norton doesn't seem to be eliminating it all. Thanks very much in advance!!!!
(I get to work from hom after my normal 10 hour day, but since this spyware is on my comp I've been having to stay at the office for 6 more hours!!! ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Computer tech here….I don't recommend Norton at all, it does not do a very good job at scanning viruses and spywares. Here is my recommendation. Go to this link to download AVG Free Edition: http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition
It is free of course and it does an excellent job and it will protect your computer very well. Good luck and hope this helps.

this is an annoying spyware that just tries to sell you its product and is not really harmful to your computer - which is why the anti-virus software doesn't detect it.
you need something called SmitfraudFix - it will clear it right up and is available as free ware download (just search for it).
i recommend windows live one care for your new anti-virus software.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats a BIG problem
this happened to me too
see what heppened is that what u downloaded wasnt acually norton trial it was proxy and firewall passer and info stealer
what i recamend is to do a reformat and turn ur internet off so ur virus doesnt go sending info to the hacker
see the best way is to reformat the virus will be permanently deleted unless u grab another one
