I've had it before it's common I guess.

It seems like you have Spydawn...

You need Smitfraud Fix, Hijack this.

Why does have to MSN? Too secreto for the forums? If you don't want people to find out about something, post it at RSF.

CTRL+ALT+DEL, this opens task manager.

Look for a process that shouldn't be there. (Google helps) It should be under your username. (Not system, network, etc) For example:

Image Name | Username | CPU |MEM USAGE
IAMAVIRUSLOL.exe | Reece | CPU |MEM USAGE

End the process and search for it on Windows, then delete it.

No more spyware.

Or if your a fool, download a scanner and let it do the dirty work. I recommend Ad-Aware.
