Hello,
I got all the messages telling me I had a spyware problem, telling me I should download Antivirus Pro 2010, I knew this was a virus so didn't download it. Did download Spyware Doctor, thought it had removed it. But I still got a warning saying I had a virus, my desktop is black and I can't access my task manager. It says it has been disabled by my administrator.
Please help, a bit of a beginner.....

Dear Sir,

If you have had your administrator disabled, that should definitely be a virus.

Download an updated version of the anti virus software that you are using and remove the virus.

Thanks.
