Hi, I think I have the same or a similar problem to you. I was browsing the internet and tried to view a video, of an advert, that I need for a research project, I had to download some software to view it. When I did I got next to the clock a new icon, that occassionally sends a message about a system alert about spyware. When I click on the icon it takes me to a webpage for virusprotectpro. I have norton antivirus and have scanned my computer but it says my computer is clean, but I cannot  remove this icon. When I first try and go online it normally takes me to bbc.co.uk but now it takes me to a security page, saying my computer is at risk and I should download anti-spyware software. I am not sure what is causing all of this but I would like it to stop, if someone could help me it would be appreciated.

silence, we need more info on your computer, like OS( what windows do you have?) what scans did you do? did you do them in safe mode? can you post a hijackthis log for us to look at also.
