Hi There,

My flatmate had a virus recently and told me how helpful this forum was!! Now my compuer is infected (different virus). Basically, everytime I turn on my computer I'm greeted with a sign from "Windows Security Alert" saying that "Wondows firewall has blocked some features of this program". I'm told the virus is called Trojan-spy.Win32. Banker.aiw, has a risk level of High and is likely to steal information from users of a range of online payment systems. There is also a link to buy some 'handy' spyware removal software.

I've been told that this virus isn't as serious as it makes itself out to be and is just trying to get me to buy the software from the link. Not sure if this is true, but the pop-ups are irritating and slowing my computer and causing it to crash. Have since down a clean up of useless junk and gotten rid of P2P programs like Limewire. An AVG scan and Malwarebyte anti-malware scan don't show the virus so can someone please help me out!!!

Many thanks!!
