Ok, so my friends laptop has spyware on it, at least I'm pretty sure. I downloaded AVG just incase there is something else on there.
He said he ran spybot and didn't find anything. The symptoms are:
A voice just comes and says, "Congrats! you've been seletcted for two free ipod nanos!" and then the classic pop-ups every once and a while. Any suggestions? Oh, and he can't use the system restore either, that's why I thought something was camping out in there
I'm going to, after avg is done, run spybot and avg in safe mode and see if it does anything. I am also going to disable system restore....
Thanks
