as the title indicates that's what is happening to my computer...i am a complete noob at this...
i've used several other malicious software removers (proposed to me by people that i trust..) fully updated and my antivirus is fully updated too but nothing can find this malware alarm..i've tried running spybot into safe mode but the problem continues...after it writes down in the progress bar "malware alarm" spybot's scanning progress freezes...what should i do in order to avoid a format...please help me...:euro:

looking forward to your reply....thank you

Hi

I think you missed BEFORE you POST (READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288) ;)

Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe)
* Once installed open HijackThis by clicking Start > Programs > HijackThis and click the button labeled
Do a system scan only

* Click the scan button in the lower left hand corner of the interface and HijackThis will quickly scan your system.
* Once the scan is complete the scan button will now read save log. Click this button to save the log file to your PC. Once you select where you would like to save the file it will open in your systems default text editor. Typically this application is Notepad. Post the log here.
