| | I Keep Getting System Alerts About Spyware Hello Family: I need some serious help. In the bottom tray I have this red X that's flashing, then I keep getting these 'system alerts' that spyware was detected, my laptop is running slow but the alerts are a freekin nuisance. I have the latest McAffe Security and when I run a scan it says my system is protected. If it is protected, then why am I getting these annoying alerts every 5-10 seconds and how I PLEASE stop them. HELP ME PLEASE! Bmo |

| | Re: I Keep Getting System Alerts About Spyware FWIW; My main desktop is in tech now with 3 major trojans that started exactly like that. I may need to replace one of the hard drives. They steal passwords and get very deep into your system very fast. I was not able to clean it up after many hours and I do know most of the tricks. I'd suggest you take the infected computer offline immediately and get it to a specialty tech to clean out.
