But keep in mind that the spyware may be causing the message to pop up in the first place!

It is estimated that 9/10 warning spyware detected or blue screen warning spyware detection messages are FALSE. They are actually placed by rogue anti spyware programs.

They are meant to scare you into downloading their software, which in turn will only corrupt your hard drive further, scam you out of money, and put your private information at risk.
