    Default Help?

    So, my computer recently had a couple of things happen. First the wallpaper was overtaken by a black screen that said that my computer is infected with spyware and should be scanned and cleaned immediately. It gave a link to a list of cleaners for purchase. Also, a button popped up in the lower right corner of windows that said that the computer is infected. The link took me to Alfa Cleaner. When I downloaded and ran Spybot, one of the things that it had listed in red was AlfaCleaner. I removed all threats, yet the wallpaper still has the infected message. Is this a virus? What steps should I take? Since I already ran the Spybot program, should I just ignore the message?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello.

    By your description you have an infected computer, so no don't ignore it.

    Please go here and follow instructions.
    Before you post a log, and who will advise you.

    Start a topic here:

    Someone will then take a look at the system and advise you as soon as available to do so.

    Cheers.
