Before I go into this, I'll make it known that I do have anti-spyware software on my computer (SpyBot Search & Destroy). And yet, I am continuously getting pop-ups telling me my computer is infected with spyware, despite two SpyBot scans (which claimed to have removed all the problems), and every time I scan with SpyBot, it picks up the same files it said it had removed during previous scans. I had two unknown applications - Mirar and XPDefender - install themselves on my computer. I also am unable to utilize the Ctrl+Alt+Delete control to exit out of glitching programs, and I am receiving an error message that read "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator" when I try to access the task manager window. Is this spyware immune to my security system? Are there any other free anti-spyware programs I can use besides SpyBot, or can I update my current program? I have Norton Anti-Virus that picks up the same piece of spyware and claims to remove it, but it remains on my system. I'm very confused. Have any of you ever faced a situation where anti-spyware software would not remove spyware? Become one with your computer.
