Hi,

I have got a pesky program that is down the bottom corner of the screen next to the clock running and if you click it will lead to a site about removing spyware (Spy Locked 3.0). It also about every 60 seconds pops up and says that my computer has spyware or malicous software. I couldn't delete the files in program files but I booted it up in safe mode and was able to delete the files. BUT it was running in safe mode when nothijng else was and is still running. So those files are fake! It must be somewhere else in the system. Is there someway to get rid of this execpt for reinstalling windows xp. I have also got windows defender all the updates and of course my windows firewall on. I'd say that it pigee backed on to my computer with a file I downloaded.

Next time please make a new post about your problem instead of injecting it into someone else's thread.
