I stupidly let something install on my PC without realising by opening a video link file. It was some kind of spyware program by the name off spy dawn.
It imidiatly started connecting me to it's download site telling me I was infected with Backdoor.Ginwui.A or something similar.
I disconnected the Modem so as to stop anything else getting in I ran Ad-Aware SE plus and quarantined lots of risky stuff found. I also ran a full Norton scan and it found nothing
I ran add remove programs and uninstalled Sypdawn but I can get ride of a program that downloaded onto my tool bar it's also in my programs by the name of "System alert popup" I can't get it off with Add remove programs it won't budge and repeatedly displays a pop up "System alert". I have also tried a system restore with no joy it's still there.
if you open it on the tool bar it takes you to spydawn download page and repeats itself over and over
Am I in trouble here or is there a way of killing this.PS a number of free spydawn removal tools on the web but can I trust them?
