Default Spyware Alert

I have been getting critical system alert from a phony software i have
downloaded in an attempt to remove spyware. Its name is windows anti virus i
think. I have tried using Windows defender and Norton360 but i am still
getting warning signals that eventually opens a web page with further
warnings. One of the frequent alerts that i get states that there's
Trojan-Spy.Win32@mix but this is from windows defender or Norton360. I don't
know what to do, in have done full system scan using both Norton and Windows
defender.

Only download software you can validate as uncompromised - in the case
of non-vendor site you have no guarantee that the files are unmodified
or uncompromised. Anyone providing a link to a non-vendors site with a
direct download should not be trusted, the vendors sites are the safest
place to download their application.

No person of sound mind would download files from a hack site that
requires a password to access the unknown files when they are available
directly from the vendors.

Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites.

The following links will take you to vendors sites for Spy Ware / Ad
ware removal tools and also for Antivirus tools. After you install any
of these applications and update them, run them in SAFE MODE to allow
them to properly clean your system.

First, make sure that your Java is updated to the latest version:
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

These sites are for downloading Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware tools, in
order that I would use them myself:

Dave Lipman's tools:
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

AdAwareSE can be found he
http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

SpyBot Search and Destroy can be found he
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

SmitRem.exe by Noahdfear's SmitFraud, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, removal tool
http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click...click.php?id=1

IEFix Utility - Description:

- Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum.
- Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a
drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist"

It is suggested that you execute each tool in Normal Mode then in Safe Mode.

directly from the vendors.

Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites.

The following links will take you to vendors sites for Spy Ware / Ad
ware removal tools and also for Antivirus tools. After you install any
of these applications and update them, run them in SAFE MODE to allow
them to properly clean your system.

First, make sure that your Java is updated to the latest version:
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

These sites are for downloading Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware tools, in
order that I would use them myself:

Dave Lipman's tools:
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --

AdAwareSE can be found he
http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

SpyBot Search and Destroy can be found he
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

SmitRem.exe by Noahdfear's SmitFraud, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, removal tool

Default Spyware Alert

Thanks very much. It helped but i still have a system alert that pops up.
Whenever IE is launched it is redirected to a so called "safe page" that
wants me to download antispyware. I know these are fake.
