the pop up from taskbar showing again and again that ur computer is infected...i dont know what is it...i have remove all the viruses from spyware docter....corrected my windows registry with registry mechanic...but the other problem is created..that i cannot switch on my windows firewall...a message appears that due to an unidentified windows problem the firewall settings cant be opened...help me friends

It sounds like one of those crappy ad things, that install itself on your computer, saying that its a virus, and tells you to buy a certain programme to remove it. The pop-up itself isn't a virus, but is a annoyance. Im surprised its not found my spyware doctor. Updating is all I can really suggest, and then try again. There are people on here far more edcted on things like this here so one of them will tell you more specific things.

Go grab spysweeper. Will fix any Spy / Mal / Ad Ware problems you are having. And for only $30 a year, its a great investment.

Have a look at Hijackthis, it's another tool that will help in some cases.

As Elmer Fudd would say, "Be verwy careful!"

I use:
AVG free edition
Spybot Search and destroy
Lava soft ad-aware
All free and exellent. Make sure you update definitions when you get them though

Panda antivirus got rid of some things that these missed:
