I was on the computer today, and a message box popped up on screen warning me of a detected virus. I am currently using AVG virus protector, but i had not opened it when this message box popped up, but i thought nothing of it and clicked heal on all the viruses. It managed to heal all viruses, except for one, which i couldnt delete or send to the virus vault. Next thing i know it closed all my internet windows, and my desktop background changed to blue, with a black box in the centre saying 'YOUR SYSTEM IS INFECTED', and spy sheriff, a program i have never downloaded started up. It detected several spy ware files, but as is the case with thr spy sheriff trial version I couldnt delete the files. I decided to run ad-aware, and it detected and removed some spy-ware files, i ran spy sheriff again, and it still detected those same files. The only way I can delete these files that spysheriff is detecting is to either purchase registartion, or find a crack on the internet. Im thinking this is just one big ploy to get me to buy the spy sheriff trial version, so I uninstalled spy sheriff, but my desktop background still hasnt changed, and I cannot change it, and im still recieving these message boxes in the corner of my screen. I really really need help,Im not very computer literate, I just know the basics, but if my family finds out about this im screwed! pleeease, can anyone out there help me?!

[B]I had that too....I couldnt figure it out, I kept using McAfee Quickclean to take it off my computer. But whenever I turned my comp off it was there again, so I used Hijack this and whatever had the anything that said spysherrif, I erased it.
And that worked for me...
