Question by Izzy: How do you get rid of the anti spyware thing in your computer?
So I try to go online on my computer but it keeps saying that I need to buy this anti spyware thing but I don’t want to. My computer is already protected with the norton 360. How do I fix this with out calling someone else to do it.

I recommend that you download Malwarebytes Anti- Malware and Spybot search and destroy. Reboot and press F8 continuously. Then go into safe mode with networking and scan. If the anti spyware wont let you download it, either rename the .exe file or download it on a clean computer and then put it in a flash drive and copy it into your computer.
hm looks like you got some spyware or something on your computer…
if you still can connect try download spy-bot search and destroy or malware bytes antimalware program(search mbam-setup )
if you cannot connect: restart computer and press F8 after POST so you could choose to start in safe mode with networking then retry downloading application mentioned above…
run update of program(mbam is faster at scanning and downloading) and start a quick scan. That should be enough to eliminate the threat..
See what Norton missed so it won’t happen
also try clear temporary files: disk cleanup or ccleaner
Seems like you have a rogue anti-virus on your computer that is posing as a real antispyware when in fact gives you more viruses and more vulnerabilities. I suggest you run your computer in safe mode and download malware-bytes, super-antispyware or Nod32 and scan for the malicious software. You could also try a system restore. Whatever you do, don’t pay for the software. It is fake and it will cost you a lot of money to buy this fake software which will harm your computer instead of protecting it. And disconnect from the internet when going on the computer, so the malware can’t send back any details.
