[AT] Computer spyware problem HELP

[Mike Meulenberg]

Hi Charlie,
I'll second the suggestion for Malewarebytes. My parents had the same problem, not surprising since they will click on almost anything. I spent quite some time on the phone with my dad trying to get the thing to go away. Someone on this list suggested Malwarebytes, and sure enough it took care of the problem. (It's free too). Have it perform a full scan, it takes a while, but it works.

Has anyone run into AntiMalware2009?   I picked it up somehow today.  I 
realized it immediately but can't get rid of it.  It masks it's self as an 
antispyware program and has a toolbar shield that looks like the Microsoft 
protection shield.  It keeps popping up and trying to get you to buy it. 
>From what I can find out online IF you do buy it (I didn't) it just loads 
more spam and spyware onto your computer.  It keeps popping up claiming my 
computer is infected with fake viruses and spyware.

I've deleted it,  I've blocked it from going to the internet with my 
firewall,  I've downloaded PCtools spyware doctor that claims it can kill 
it.  Spyware doctor says it has blocked it but wants me to pay for the 
program to remove it.  However, it's still popping up even though it's 
supposed to be blocked.

If anyone knows how to kill this animal please let me know.  And for the 
rest, if you get a popup that looks like it's from microsoft warning you 
about viruses and spyware you've probably got this bug.  Beware.  I 
suspected it from the beginning and tryed every way I can figure out to stop 
it from installing but it installed it's self anyway.   Oh I forgot.  It 
disables your ability to do a previous date restore too.

Help!!!!
