Ignore all of these messages!

You already have the spyware on the machine unfortunately; it has happened to me in the past and it always look like official Windows gubbins!

The best way to get rid is to use a programme called Hitman Pro http://www.hitmanpro.nl/hitmanpro/content/view /3/9/lang,en/

Actually it's not 1 but several Anti-Spyware programmes, and best of all it's completely free!!

I would avoid Hitman Pro, having spent several hours clearing the mess it made of my friend's pc.
