I've somehow got something on my laptop which is claiming that my hard drive is knackered but if I follow the link (and presumably pay a small fortune) then it will be sorted out.
My internet is still working but I can't see any of my favourites, my desktop has disappeared and a few other things are wrong. Obviously I need to get rid of whatever it is that is doing this. My windows security is useless, it won't even update, presumably because of the spyware. I have also updated and ran Spybot, which hasn't sorted it.
Help!

Re: Spyware problem
Two free programs you can try:
Malwarebytes
and
SuperAntiSpyware
I'd suggest trying Malwarebytes first - it sorted me out when I was in a similar situation...

Re: Spyware problem
No joy with the first one, will try the other one soon.
