HELP PLEASE.... i have a bubble that keeps popping up in bottom right of screen with the exclamation point symbol in a yellow triangle. it reads " Your computer is infected! Windows has detected spyware infection. It is recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss. Windows will now donload and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you. Click here to protect your computer from spyware."
I have AVG Anti-virus 7.5 and AVG Anti-spyware 7.5 both free editions. When i click in the "bubble" --AVG box opens and says "THREAT DETECTED" Trojan horse Sheur.AXNT and asks me to ignore, heal, move to vault, and something else...well i moved it to vault and deleted it afterward but the 'bubble' does not go away...it is driving me crazy...I've done numerous AVG anti-virus scans and Anti-spyware scans and it finds the threat...and then deletes them but it does not go away....
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! What do I need to do to get rid of THIS BLEEPING VIRUS?
Thanks for any helpRob

I just found something that says my virus is a misleading anti-spyware program called Awola...which is somehow installed somewhere on my computer through the TRojan Sheur i mentioned in the previous message....i hope this helps anyone to give me answers!!!!
thanksRob

SUPERAntispyware (free for home users) is able to remove Awola.
Download, install and run the updates for SUPERAntispyware (SAS).
Turn off system restore to flush the restore points.
Steps to turn off System Restore
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. In the System Properties dialog box, click the System Restore tab.
3. Click to select the Turn off System Restore check box. Or, click to select the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Yes to confirm.
Restart the computer in "Safe mode"
Restart your pc and as it is booting up start tapping the F8 key. You should get a screen with options on it, arrow down to "Safe Mode" and hit enter.
Run the SAS scan in "Safe Mode" and quarantine everything it finds. Once it has finished reboot your pc to start windows normally.
Turn your system restore back on by following the method above.
Run all your antispyware programs and antivirus program too to see if the infection is picked up again.
SAS is a very good program to keep to run the occassional scan. Remember to always update it first.
P.S. If you have any trouble booting into "Safe Mode" you can run SAS in normal mode. Safe mode makes the detection rate higher and removal processes can be more successful.
Remember to turn System Restore back on
