Greetings from Dublin, Ireland.

My girlfriend has clearly clicked an online alert that has lodged suspect virus into my computer. From what I have read it's not a virus, as such.

Green desktop background, black box and red text saying, system has been stopped due to a serious malfunction. Spyware activity has been detected...

I can't access the task manager and there is a baloon that pops up with another infection message.

I raw adaware and that cleaned a number of items. I saved the log. Restarted the computer and got a message saying, worm.win32.skynet has infected your computer.

Read somewhere else that I should run Malware, but thought I would ask an expert as I don;t want to keep running various spyware programmes, if they are doing the same thing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
