Ok, that flashy message is fake. The website is trying to trick you into thinking that you have a virus, and that clicking on ok will save you. the trouble is that when you click OK, you are sent to a website that trys to sell you anti-spyware software.

Kinda funny, isn't it? A company uses spyware to sell you something to get rid of spyware! WTF!



However, you DO have spyware on your computer, and that spyware is resetting your homepage all the time to take you to this website. If the anti-spyware stuff you have now isn't finding it, than I suggest you try one from a different source. I use Windows Defender from Microsoft, myself and here's the link for it.

Most spyware comes to you when you download some cute little game or toolbar from whatever website you got it from. When you install the game or toolbar, it installs the spyware with it. Most software installs with a 'use agreement', or 'license agreement', where you have to click OK, or click I AGREE before you can continue. Read all of that before you click it. if the game or whatever you just downloaded has spyware with it, that's where you're gonna find out.
