Spyware on my computer?

I was on my computer. all of sudden this message popped up and said that I had spyware on my computer so on Norton and ran a full system scan and so far nothing has been dectected. but the message kepts popping up. should i trust this? or is it trying to install spyware on my computer. I clicked on it once and nothing happened and it just keeps popping up. what do you think?

Something popped that said Worm.Win32.NetSky has been detected on your computer

I recommend that you download the free version of Superantispyware. I use this program for many many years. Well known to find what all other miss or unable to delete.

http://www.superantispyware. Update and run an indepth scan. If spyware is found, I recommend that you reboot to be on the safe side.

It is a spyware trojan.

Free - For starters, download, update and run a full scan using SuperAntiSpyware (SAS) http://www.superantispyware.com/
SAS is an exceptionally easy to use application that will remove the majority of difficult Trojans and Worms, not just the easy ones. In addition it has the ability to remove Vundo and Smitfraud infections. SAS can lock your home page to prevent browser hi-jacking attempts.

If possible it is recommended that you load SAS in normal mode but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be started by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. If you are badly infected you might need to run SAS more than once to help clean your system. Afterwards if the only infections now being shown are in System Restore, once you are completely satisfied that you can boot normally, you can either delete the infected restore points manually, or temporarily turn off System Restore to purge the files.

Assuming you have some real awkward infections that persist even after trying the above I suggest you download a dedicated Smitfraud removal program from either of these locations:

If possible run in Safe Mode.

norton sucks btw. the first guy is right on the $$

The very same thing happened to me this afternoon. I have now rectified the problem (without spending any money). For a start I have Avast instead of Norton (I have had trouble with Norton in the past but Avast is great - and free).
Try and check out my earlier question 'Do I Need Spyware As I Have Avast'. The information is all there from some very knowledgeable people.
It is a scam and takes a while to get rid of Spyware but it's worth the effort.
Good luck and don't forget to look at my answers.

Symantec and Bitdefender both have special W32.Netsky removal tools. If the first one doesn't remove it, try the second.
