help regarding AntiSpyware

by olivia24 Oct 19, 2008 10:33AM PDT

Ok..I don't know much about computers just the basic. I will try to explain the best I could, but I guess you will have the idea about what I'm saying...

Few days ago, while I'm on a certain page..I am being redirected to some certain sites. It happened several times, w/c I ignore. Just this morning my computer background got changed into a warning: Spyware threat has been detected on your PC. It has several fatal errors due to spyware activity. Also, it says to update my antispyware protection. Which I did, & was redirected to the site of PC Protection Center 2008. After I download, & run the program..nothing happen.

I have Windows XP, & have the free edition of the AVG. Last I check, it's on active status. And I don't understand why such threat on my computer.

Can anyone help me..because I know my computer is not properly running correctly. Viewing other sites, or just clicking a link..I alway hit blank pages..

Thanks
