Spyware

[NtherBlast]

Hello there after i started my computer today at the bottom right the mini icons where the time is this in my screenshot http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=problemxn1.png kept coming up and it led me to a spyware program called spylocked. So I downloaded it and then when i tried to clean/remove the threats it says i need to pay. So here is my question where can I find a spyware scanner to remove these threats that is free?

Hello,

The third post in this thread: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=35983697&sid=1 includes links to some Blizzard approved anti-spyware tools, the first two are free for personal use and I'd assume the third is too.

Good luck!

Ok Silver Pal sycamore i went to that link and got the windows defender and i scanned it said i didn't have any threat but after i scanned i kept getting these problems anytime i tried to open something the red x comes up and says image not found. Also after this problem i tried to restart my computer it just asked if i wanted to end task all the stuff i tried to open and after i did that it didn't restart. Also i have used AVG to scan for viruses. Right know i am reading the thread Valas Azuviir posted.
