What Caused This Virus?

What Caused My Computer To Behave Crazy?

Yesterday, while I was searching for some codes to setup some programs in my computer, My Computer got infected by some type of viruz "spyware."  My computer started to behave crazy thereafter.

I found out that this viruz was part of a program I downloaded earlier.

Well, this is the message that appeared on my screen soon after my computer was infected by this malicious "SPYWARE:"



YES, that SPYWARE was actually MAKING UNAUTHORIZED COPIES of my operating system.  I Scanned all my files in order to find the file that contained this spyware, I found nothing.  

After reading some posts by other users that have had this same problem, I decided to REFORMAT my Computer.  

I think it is EASIER and SAFER to reformat the Computer instead of scanning and deleting infected files.  

Right now I am running a FRESH copy of Windows XP.  =]


Don't You Guys Think It Is Actually Easier To REFORMAT The Computer?
