My daugher is running XP and picked up a nagging adware/spyware called Antispystorm. I've read other forums and websites indicating that it is a fake antispyware. It pops up and does a scan of some sort with red warnings showing threats. Spybot has not detected it. She has 1.5 with all updates. Any suggestions?!!! Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello.
AntiSpyStorm is indeed a rogue impersonating as Microsoft AntiSpyware Center.
If you can find the file/s on the computer, please zip and send to: detections(AT)spybot.info (Replace AT with @)
If you cannot, please don't concern yourself.
