It looks like i have a virus:eek::mad:
I have kaspersky 2009 (kaspersky still has about 40 days on its license before i renew it so its not out of date)
and spybot- kaspersky scan found nothing and spybot found xupiter.sqwire x 2 and i cannot fix it on spybot as its saying in not an administrator so ive followed instructions and become the administrator but its still saying im not so it must be doing it to stop me remoiving it:(
Kaspersky is showing as running normal but i have a windows security alert saying that kaspersky is on but is reporting its status to windows security centre in a format which is no longer supported use the update function but ive updated about 6 times and nothing changes
Please help me:A
