    I have Pro Antispyware 2009 popping up from my taskbar, it is trying to sell a program and interrupts operations with pop ups. Spy Bot and Adware can not remove it.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.


    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

    Ran spy-bot, ad-aware and McAfee in safe mode and after several scan with each one it cleared up.

    I tend to doubt it since none of them properly detect and remove this infection completely. I recommend that you follow the instructions I gave to truly find out if you are clean.
