Tech help

I'm getting this:

! Your computer is infected!

Windows has detected spyware infection

I know less than nothing about computers. Am I effed by this? Would this compromise my on-line banking? And, how do I fix it?

Thanks

You probably have a spyware infection

Go download Windows Defender, and or perhaps Edwido... Update and run them..

It can be alot more in depth.... but its a start.

Adaware is another freebie out there that does a good job of cleaning the spyware.

Thanks guys. Spyware doc seems to have done the trick. Think I might limit my wanderings to S-B.com.
