Hi,

I am new to this forum and my computer was infected by adware from antispycheck.com. It continually pops up on my screen saying I am being attacked and then sends me to there company sited to buy their antispy software.

My McAfee software can id the adware but not destroy it. I also cannot find the program on my add/remove programs to remove it, nor can I find it on my computer anywhere except my toolbar, but, when you touch those icons they just send you to their site with no uninstall options.

It is problematic because the popup comes up every 2-3 minutes and whenever it comes up it severely slows down my machine.

The company is based in Riga, Latvia and the McAfee site advisor says it runs on the Russian NGINX mini server. I am desparate to uninstall/destroy this malicious adware.

Thanks

I posted this several days ago, but, have been unable to respond to Shaba because my computer can no longer view web pages. I can connect wirelessly or by broadband, but both IE and firefox cannot pull up or view pages. How can we proceed using other computers?
