i think i was trying to download activexplayer from a site and now i have an icon that keeps popping up saying i have spyware or something and that i should go to this site to get antispycheck. i did a mcafee virus scan found nothing. i did a webroot spysweeper and it found something dealing with the spysweeper which it quarantined, but the icon is still there so i dont know what i should do.

Hi,

Please download HijackThis from here(right-click the link, select Save Target As..., select your Desktop and press Save):
http://downloads.malwareremoval.com/HJTInstall.exe

Double-click the program and follow the prompts to install it.
After installing, HijackThis will open automatically.

Select Do a system scan and save a logfile - this will produce a HijackThis log in Notepad. Check in Notepad that Format->Word Wrap is UNchecked.

Please post it in a response to this message. Copy the contents of the log by pressing Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C, then paste it into your response by pressing Ctrl-V.

I will review the log and let you know how to proceed.
