my PC is infected?

I keep getting a message which I can't get rid of saying my computer is infected
by malware, and basically click here to install. Its not a popup ad it is in a bubble pointing to the security symbol down on the taskbar(next to the clock). It takes me to spyaxe web site were it downloads itself. I can run it and it finds 8 infections but you have to pay to delete them
I think there is something not quite right about this and would just like to get rid of the message

Any ideas ?

i dont know about how to get rid of the message, but try going to www.trendmicro.com and then clicking on housecall to get rid of any viruses free.

OK, I had this the other day. if you're running Windows XP (which i assume you are), do a system restore. one that is from 2-3 days ago.

Has it changed the background as well? and your homepage when you open IE?

cheers will try that. I do have AVG free addition antivirus which found and distroyed two trojans. but the message still comes up, and could of done with an antivirus for myself as i've been ill for four weeks, and was unable to have a drink at christmas due to the antibiotics



P.S. Like the tartan not too unlike to the Maclennan/Logan tartan?

Basically, the virus takes over certain things. the only way to get rid of it for good, is going to c:/windows and then finding 5 .exe's... tool1.exe, tool2.exe, tool3.exe, tool4.exe and (you guessed it) tool5.exe, delete them, then run the system restore. that's how i did it and all is well now

Yes I now have MSN as a homepage

Background still crazyfrog

Could not find the 5 tool.exe's but system restore seem to have done the trick Thanks helpimonfire
