We bought a Inspirion 1000 from some friends, it has XP2 on it. However when
we connected it to the internet to update it something downloaded on the
computer w/o our permission and now we have some kind of spyware that keeps
giving us a PC security lab popup, even when we aren't connected to the
internet. Everytime we try to do anything windows popup and we get all kinds
of system alerts. We can't do anything on the computer. Is there anything we
can do to get rid of it? We've run spybot, but it freezes up when we try to
get rid of the problems. Even if we just do one at a time.
 
Download and run Ad-Aware:
