Possible spyware for my problem

[Rachael87]

my computer is making a buzzing noise but it still works and when I tryed to restart it, it said "a third party" has tryed to get into your computer and maybe without your permission and stuff.

if you are worried about spyware get a copy of ADAWARE, you can get a free download from the web if you look.

It will find all spyware and remove it if you want.

Glad to be of service.

AdAware is available from

http://www.lavasoft.de,

and is free for home use. Highly recommend you down load it, install it, then take your system offline and run the program to find and remove all the spybot programs that have been installed by others on your system. If you go on the InterNet, you will have a bunch spybot and data miner programs installed that you do not know about.

If you are getting this type message, do you have a firewall installed?
Is this a single, stand alone system, or part of a network?
How about a little more information on the configuration to help out?

If this is a single stand alone system, then I highly recommend the system also include a firewall, such as Zone Alarm (available from

http://www.zonelabs.com,

for free) to protect you from the outside access, especially if you are not using dial up access and have a high speed InterNet connection like DSL. Also, you MUST have anti-virus software installed and upto date, or your system becomes a danger to you and others from virus and worm attacks.
