running winamp, the program started lagging a lot and then shutting down. After, a sign pops up saying Dr. Watson has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I've seen this before on my roommate's computer and pretty sure its some kind of adware/spyware or virus. Is there any way to get rid of this doc crap?

thanks in advance.

I was downloading a free trial of Paint Shop Pro, when my computer went crazy!

It said that my computer was infected with spyware, and then it downloaded SuperSpy and it started going..

I exited out of that, and went to my Spyware program, Spy Sweeper, and it said that I had spyware and 3 Trojans..

But when I ran my AntiVirus program, it didn't pick up the Trojans..

How can I get rid of the Trojans?


Also, it changed my background. It says "SPYWARE FOUND." blah blah


I cant delete the account either. When I go to go to User Account page and click on the messed up account.. it just freezes.

What can I do?

Thanks.

Thanks,

i have a network with three computers connected. One of them is being used as a server and has linux on it, the other is a laptop.

I am wondering if there is a program that will scan the network, so I can scan those other two computers for viruses/spyware through my main computer?
