All the sudden today my computer all the sudden says I have a bunch of viruses.This is the first time ive even been on the computer in a long time, so i dont know whats going on.But whats weird is i did a free virus scan and it says theres 0 infected files, and my computers all good.But my desktop says spyware is detected on your computer.I dont know whats going on.So does anyone know of free virus removal or something?

Download this anti spyware software and update it once its installed and than do a full scan : http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Computers tend to catchup on spyware adware and viruses when browsing online....I recommend using Mozilla Firefox browser, its free!

Is it called SpyGuarder or something like that? I had a similar problem with this

Once your problem is fixed- i recomend using ESET smart security- its an all-in-one security suite. I can't remember the last time i picked up a virus or spyware

Weirdly enough, my Vaio was attacked for the first time in 3 years couple of weeks ago. The virus, or so we think, is not allowing us to get on the internet. We are restarting the whole thing in about a week, and got all the important files backed up on an External Hard drive. Good thing, no one in this household uses the Vaio anymore since we all have laptops.
