   How to stop pop-ups and remove fake software, spyware, trojans and viruses:

   You need to download and scan your system with Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware (links below)

   If you are unable to download or use the software below then its likely you are being redirected or blocked from downloading and running security software by a trojan hidden in your device manager follow the instructions below and you should be able to download Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware.

   start > run > type: devmgmt.msc > enter > view > show hidden devices > non-plug and play drivers > in the list of drivers look for the following, right click and disable any that appear in your list:

   ATi1jaxx
   TDSSserv.sys
   TDSSxyz.sys where xyz are random characters
   Clbdriver.sys,
   Gaopdxserv.sys,
   Seneka or Seneka.sys

   Restart computer.

   Once downloaded you need to install, update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware, delete everything they find, if this fails to completely remove the malware you need to download then update Avast and run a boot scan (click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC), all the software below is free and safe to use.

   Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

   SuperantiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html

   Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

   To protect your PC in the future you’ll need to install anti-virus software and a firewall, id recommend using Avast anti-virus and Comodo firewall both are very effective and completely free, you should also switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with Internet Explorer as its much safer and a lot easier to use. (links on my profile)

   Remember never download anything thats recommend by a pop-up.

   Here’s how it goes (do it manually or else whenever you access the folder the file is in the process, which is what you see, will start up again):
   Scroll to the removal instructions
   Look at the 2nd and forth boxes (processes and files)
   Look through the processes and once you find one the name will be the same in the file, if that makes sense. They have links under the boxes that explain it further.

   Spyware Protect 2009 is a rogue anti-spyware program that displays false and exaggerated scan results. Thankfully, though, there is a totally free way to remove this program.

   Please visit this page and follow the guide in order to fully remove this program and any related malware:

   Please note that many of the answers to your question state that you should download and install Xoftspy or Spyhunter. Both of these programs only scan your computer and do not remove anything for free. They are only being shown in order for the poster to make a commission. Instead only use programs that do not require you to purchase them in order to remove found infections. The guide above includes a program that will remove this infection entirely for free.
