Are you getting the message “Warning spyware detected”? If you have you are amongst a legion of others. The warning spyware detected message seems to be one of the most notorious error messages on the internet. They usually come in two different forms:

1. Legitimate Windows warning that your CPU has detected spyware

2. A fake “false positive” warning created by a rogue anti spyware program.

If I were to take an estimate I would guess that about 95% of Windows has detected spyware infection messages are similar to option 2. They are fake messages intended frighten the person into buying a specific counterfeit spyware remover that will infect them further, steal private confidential information, and extort money out of the unsuspecting user.

A counterfeit spyware remover is a form of spyware that disguises itself as an antispyware eliminator. The spyware gets on to your computer through security holes in your browser, P2P file sharing, or shareware that come with bundled spyware. Your desktop appears with a spyware warning or you may see the joke blue screen. If you fall for the trap then do not panic. While your computer is at serious risk all is not lost if you do the right thing. You must take steps to remove the infections BEFORE they cause fatal errors and put your identity at risk.

Spyware removal is not as simple as uninstalling the nasty program. In the Web 2.0 world, spyware, malware, and viruses have gotten very sneaky at how they infect computers. They typically attack multiple folders and disguise themselves in your Windows registry and system processes. Unless you are a computer expert, you will need help to completely eliminate spyware from your computer.
