Spy Sweeper problems

Lately I have been having issues with my Spy Sweeper. It keeps on having a pop up message saying "The communication Shield has blocked access to: (a website I've never heard of)" It's not one here and there, it happens quite frequently. Just in case people ask, I have Spybot: search and destroy along with glary utilities. I've ran numerous scans with both spybot and spy sweeper and nothing has come up and the problem persists. Also, when I have my mouse on the desktop, it's acting like it's loading something, the swirl thing keeps on spinning, but it never loads it.

You may need to uninstall Spyware Sweeper and Spybots S&D
If you have any issues uninstalling Spyware Sweeper use this tool

Once fully removed, restart and re-install Spyware Sweeper, if you still want this tool

Any further issues please have a look at: UPDATED 8-step Viruses/Spyware/Malware Preliminary Removal Instructions
Note: Your extra live protecting programs should be uninstalled first before going through the guide
If you decide to post the attachments, you will then need to create a New Thread in the Virus & Malware removal forum
