anyway so you guys know. It appears on the bar which I have to the right side instead of the bottom. The small logo is a help sign similar to msoft help. blue round circle with the question sign. this all of a sudden pops up and says system alert ; system has detected a number of active spyware applications that may impact the performance of your computer. Click the icon to get rid of unwanted spyware by downloading an up-to-date antispyware solution This is what it says. If u clik it will send u to the spydawn page for download and input ur information.
It also appears in the add and remove programs but when remove it says to reboot and it comes back.

David R it went away with the beeping... that MAUSERME said. I was just posting so that other people could relate to what were the signs. Also Thanks for your input

Thanks, sorry I didn't go over the first page again and thought you were reporting the problem again.
