Hi,
You have been infected with spyware, disguised as a spyware 'remover'
advertisement. Run a real anti-spyware program to remove it. I use 3 different
ones, they do overlap, but each will find things the others miss, and all 3 are
free.
1. Ad-Aware:

2. Spybot Search and Destroy:

This is the latest Spy ware Alert I just received when I turned my laptop
on.
Security Warning!
Worm.Win32.NetSky detected on your machine. This virus is distributed via
the Internet through e-mail and Active X objects. The worm has its own
SMTP
engine which means it gathers e-mails from your local computer and
re-distributes itself. In worst cases this worm can allow attackers to
access your
computer, stealing passwords and personal data.
This process should be removed from your system.
Type: Virus
System Affected: Windows 200, NT, ME, XP, Vista
Security Risk {0-5}: 5
Recommendations: Click Yes to remove it from your PC immediately,
Once I click yes it takes me to either Ad Ware Remover 2007 or Spy Ware
cleaner.
Apparently The Anti Virus System that is on my Laptop is Symantec I did a
scan and it tells me I have an item in quarantine and leave it, it cannot
cause
me no harm. However each time I sign on my computer this Ad Ware Remover
2007 pops up I have tried to remove it from my programs, however; it tells
me I
have to close it in order to remover it. Mind you I never downloaded this
software.
CHUCK
