Spyware program not going away

Hello, I was on my computer one time and this WInSpywareProtect program just
came on and it would not go away. I tried searching for it to delete it but I
could not find it. It just pops up at the worst time and won't go away. I
need help in deleting it.

This won't do it. The OP will need a more focused cleaning.

RE: Spyware program not going away

Install Spybot Search & destroy, and run it in Safe Mode to remove problem.
Instructions for download/install, and running in Safe Mode written below.

http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.
Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.
Then SCAN with it.
Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight.

http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Important re: Safe Mode
If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow
key to get to Safe Mode, then hit ENTER.
RESCAN your computer with Spybot S & D while in Safe Mode.
