BleepingComputer.com: I've Been Attacked By The Blue Screen Of Malware Death

I have been attacked by the malware that takes over your desktop and leaves a blue desktop with the message: Warning: Spyware has been detected on your computer. I have been reading the other posts and realize this is a problem others are having. If someone could let me know the steps to annihilate this formidable enemy, I would very much appreciate it!!!

Could I get the exact quote written on the wallpaper?

Hello, what is your operating system? What is your antvirus and spyware tools?
Did it ask you to install or purchase something by name?

It says: Warning: Spyware threat has been detected on your PC. Your computer has several fatal errors due to spyware activity. It is strongly recommended to install an antispyware software to close all security threats. Anti-spyware software helps protects your PC against spyware and other security threats.

I am running Windows XP SP2.

I have PC Tools Spyware and Norton Security Online. And it does say to get software online.

That is the standard Rogue Spyware selling pitch. DO NOT click on it. But you've probably been infected` by it. Have you scanned with your tools from safe mode yet? If not do so and also run this....

Download Attribune's ATF Cleaner and then SUPERAntiSpyware, Free Home Version. Save both to desktop ..
DO NOT run yet.
Open SUPER from icon and install and Update it

Close browsers before scanning.

DO NOT run yet.

Now reboot into Safe Mode:
Safe Mode Using the F8 Method

Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main "Select Files to Delete" choose: Select All.
Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox or the Opera browser click on that browser at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
