I have windows xp... Really know very, very little about computer stuff...

When my computer starts up, instead of the picture which used to be my background, I now have a black background which says " Warning! Spyware detected on your computer. Install antivirus or spyware remover on your computer. View the list of top spyware removers here (arrows pointing to this line)."

My usual desktop icons are on top of this.


I have ran ad-aware and edwido security scans with nothing found.

What should I do now??!!

Thanks so much!!!
