I’m working temporarily for Kaplin University as IT technician. One of the users gets a spyware message periodically when connected to the internet. The message reads: Warning! Your computer might be infected with malware. Below that it says: scanning your pc for threats. Then it lists some threats. It’s hard to pinpoint where the file is on the computer.
It doesn’t pop up in the system tray like most fake spyware messages do. It pops up in the top of a internet site when you click on internet explorer. I’m thinking that the user needs to have a spyware remover installed and run on the computer.
Since it happens when the user clicks on the internet is there any security or privacy settings that I need to change or will the spyware removal software work? Please answer as soon as you can.
