"Windows has detected spyware..."

G3niX · Sep 14, 2004

I keep getting that pop up that sais "Windows has detected spyware on your computer. To Remove it click OK" When you click ok it takes you to a page with instructions on how to configure Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware so as to remove it from your computer, but this has not worked. I have run hijackthis, and if needed i have the log file for that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On a seperate note, I am unable to run "regedit" from the Run funtion. I am however able to open it by accessing it through windows explorer. Any ideas on this would be valuable as well.

Thanks alot.
