Windows security warning downloading spyware

I'm actually going through the same problem, and using Norton anti-virus, and spy-subtract spyway has failed to get rid of the pop-up box. Any suggestions?

Malwarebytes anti-malware solved the problem for me.

My friend has the same problem is having the same problem with his computer. I have used McAffee, Webroot's Spy Sweeper, and PCcillin, and all have failed.

i am working on a friends computer that has the same problem. I have used mcafee and adaware to try to clean up the computer but it has not been successful. At first the spyware had made setting changes that made the task manager inoperable so that pressing alt control delete would just bring up a box saying that i didn't have administrative priveleges to access the task manager. After multiple scans from mcafee i was able to fix the task manager problem but it still tells me when i make changes to the computer such as disabling start up services on msconfig that i dont have admistrative rights to make the changes. Another perplexinging thing is that somehow the spyware has disable the active scanning engine of macafees and everytime i try to manually start the scanning engine it says that things are wrong with macafee but i have already done a full reinstall of macafee but the spyware has disable this component of the antivirus and when i run adaware it finds nothing. Any thoughts or suggestions on what i should do to fix this problem?
The specs for the computer are pentium 4 windows xp with all windows updates and i have been using a totally up to date macafee antivirus suite and the most up to date adaware.

OK I got the solution.

My laptop just got infected. The message is this (note the mis-spelling):

----------
