    I have a button on my tool bar that keeps popping up a massage that my computer is at risk. When I click on it, it take me to a website called Spylocked.com. How can I get rid of this annoying popup? I use Norton Protection Center but it hasn't stopped it.

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.
    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

    While going throught the steps of Read and Run Me First, CounterSpy seems to have found the problem and fixed it because I don't get the popups anymore. I am happy again and am going to stop at this point unless you advise that I should continue with the rest of the steps.

    You guys have been a life saver once again. Thanks for the excellent help.

    The steps we ask you to do often do remove most of the nasties ...however, it would be more assuring if you would post the logs so that we can check that there are no additional leftovers that may cause problems.
