I wеnt οn google аnԁ searched images, thеn thіѕ јυѕt popped up аftеr mу computer kinda froze fοr 2 minutes. Now іt keeps popping up аnԁ asking mе іf i want tο fix mу computer, аnԁ thаt i hаνе viruses, аnԁ іt tells mе tο pay $ 50 fοr іt, аnԁ іtѕ acting Ɩіkе аn annoying virus іn itself. Anyone know whаt thіѕ іѕ аnԁ hοw tο take care οf іt? Anԁ аƖѕο, whеn i log οn thе internet explorer, іt takes mе tο a “microsoft” website thаt ѕауѕ “someone mау bе watching уουr computer, уου hаνе spyware, bla bla”.

You don’t have “spybot”, you have a hostile cut of spyware.
Search for and download Spybot Search And Ruin and Adaware SE. Both free and both should be able to fix your spyware infestation.
I got so sick of it on my computer that I had to take it on to be fixed.
I had the exact same thing happen-I got it trying to download a version of bearshare on Cnet.com. Get the AVG free-it will kill it dead. After you load AVG it may take a while to run as the garbage you have will try to stop it-just let it run even if it takes all night-it will kill it.
Spywarebot is terrible news……… not to be confused with SpyBot search & ruin, which is very excellent. I had opened the SpywareBot page by mistake, and it sent all kinds of junk, when I used the REAL SpyBot, it removed all the SpywareBot crap, 18 problems from just opening that one page. the real SpyBot is free……. download it from this site:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
and download from the “hosted by safer networking” click “server #1″. it will remove the popup junk you are getting. I use this in addition to AVG 7.5 antivirus, which is also free.
