Help!!! I think i have an awful computer virus?

Hi there,

I think my computer has some sort of virus on it,

here is the message it keeps popping up with

"System alert: trojan-spy.win32@mx

type: Spyware/Trojan

Vunerable: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2003

Windows XP/Windows Vista

Description: Spyware program that sends confidential information to a remote attacker

Protection: Click this button to download official security software"

though whenever you click on it you just are promted to buy some software...this seems a little weird to me like its some sort of advert...

Everything else seems to be working fine on my computer, except for that little balloon which pops up

please help!!!!!

thank you!!!!

Gawd, the information is terrible here on answers today.

Trojan-spy.win32@mx is NOT a real virus. That warning is fake. It is a scam to attempt to get you to purchase a rogue malware removal product. The balloon about "Your computer is infected" or "System Alert", is always false, phony and fradulant. The actual trojan that has caused your problem is no doubt one of the hundreds (now in the thousands)of varients of what is commonly called "Zlob".

Your computer is indeed infected. This infection is called Smitfraud and it will give you phony scam virus warnings( and often redirect you to a site selling a bogus anti virus product), trying to sell you junk such as Pest Capture, Pest Trap, Virus Burst, Spyware Quake,Virus Heal and other non working anti virus apps.
