Hi
I think I have a spyware infection. The symptoms are as follows:
"Windows Antivirus" message screen keeps on popping up from an icon on the task bar announcing that windows has detected spyware and suggesting downloading of antispyware. Occasionally another "Windows security Alert" window also pops up warning that the system is making copies of system files, etc.

I think they are trying to get me to buy their program!

Thanks for the reply, however I don't seem to have exactly what the links says. I can't find those registry entries.
