My Pc got infected by a adware which is suggesting me to download spyware remover .It automatically set up this warning wallpaper on my desktop :lol:

So i scanned my system with Spybot search and destroy to remove it but there was none!!! Seems a good adware :D

Digg it

is this the right section?
I also think this is not a right section for the adware attack on someone's PC:D

BTW I think this is not a REAL adware and the wallpaper is a fake one :D I did not heard about some adware which posts warning through wallpapers. :D
