I was recently infected with spyware. I was able to fix some of the problems
i was having but now i have a fake system alert that pops up every minute.
When IE is launched it gets redirected to a so called "safe page". Norton nor
Windows defender detects any spyware or any other malicious software. I don't
know what to do I need help.

Thanks
