If you're doing it yourself, scroll down to "How to manually remove Spyware Protect 2009" and follow the instructions (block listed websites, kill listed processes, delete listed files and folders).

If you don't want to do it the hard way, that Yahoo link is the way to go:

Quote
Download, install, update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware, delete what ever they find, if this fails to completely remove the virus/spyware download then update Avast and run a boot scan (click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC), all the software below is free and safe to use.

Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

SuperantiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/

Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

Edit: Use that Spyware Doctor thing you downloaded if you wish; I believe it's legitimate software, but I don't know much about it.

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

So in my computer hardware class me and my friend where installing XP when this message pops up.

"Press any key to continue..."

Now, me and my friend spend well over a minute looking for this 'any' key and eventually we found it.





Wow, could they have put that key in a more harder to find place?

For those that recommended AVG, let me tell you guys that I'd have done the same a version ago. Unfortunately, the latest version of AVG is so full of holes it's not even funny. (Three stupid viruses I wrote MYSELF went right past AVG's scanner, and I don't do that for a living.) Instead, get yourself Avira Antivir, which is basically the best damn AV software I've been able to find lately. www.free-av.com

As for antispyware, yeah, Spyware Doctor is a legit software, and as far as I'm told, a rather good one. Go with it.

Limewire isn't recognizing my java runtime environment, keeps telling me to update it which I've done like 10 times now. It worked fine before my computer crashed. Help.

I dunno why you use Limewire, dear -- I recommend Soul Seek. Much better, much simpler, much lighter, and much more quality results. In any case, here goes some help.

Uninstall both things, then install the very latest version of the JRE, and THEN install Limewire. If that doesn't work, uninstall both and try to install Limewire again; it should fire up an automatic install of the JRE which, since it's being installed FROM Limewire, SHOULD work.

I was gonna post a problem I'm having, but then I realized "I'm Rad, this [parasitic bomb] happens to me for a reason, if the only problem I have is fixed, what will I live for?"
So I decided to just say "I have partial sound, but not all sound, boo hoo, help me."

Check the repositories and make sure you have an up-to-date driver for your sound card.

Aye, I already made sure everything was up to date, it happened when I tried to manually install ALSA sound drivers, it removed old stuff, and tried to install new stuff, but failed, which didn't revert to old stuff.
But after hours of tweaking I got sound out of things like YouTube videos.
But I still can't get sound out of Amarok, Rhythmbox, or any other media player. *In fact, Amarok just tells me that there's an error with the audio card and it's reverting to PulseAudio, which I already know doesn't work.*

I gave up on it, I'll go fiddle with it more when I feel like getting frustrated.
Right now, I feel like listening to music.

You need to have a fall-back that has XP, like a netbook or something.
