Hi everyone,
I read some posts in here and followed the directions regarding Spyware/Malware removal.
I received the Spyware that caused a white "X" on top of a red circle with a pop-up message, "Windows has detected a spyware infection!" I got this infection after my sister plugged in her iPod. I thought she had one with viruses or malicious software that came with the unit when it was sold. Apparently, there was a few released after September 2006.
I downloaded, installed, and executed the recommended software (CCleaner, Malwwarebytes' Anti-Malware, SUPERAntispyware, and HijackThis). The "X" pop-up message is gone and I'm also able to use Windows Task Manager. Everything looks okay but I wanted to double check with you guys who are more experienced in PC technology than I.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
