More ungent question about spyware and downloads?

I did updated spyboot search and destroy but it says there that ad aware is a for of spyware; is that so?\

I scanned my computer with both programs and turned my computer off; but when I turned it on again hours later now is shows the yellow sign for downloads but a red one too warning me my antivirus is not running and that I am at risk of spyware but I checked and my antivirus is on and I did those scans so why is that happening? I am afraid they might have gotten into my computer already. I do not use explorer anymore I use Opera for safety but still I have this going on.\

Please help..thanks

Sounds like you have a most major issue. Like the guy said, re-run the scans (make sure that ALL of your anti-virus and spyware programs are up-to-date). After that, uninstall any programs you don't recognize the name of in the Add/Remove Programs window (in Control Panel). Keep using Opera or Firefox, as they are less susceptible to malware.

It may al;so be possible that you have a brand-new virus or Trojan.

Some weeks ago I had a problem with my computer, it was slowing down and i couldn't explain why some websites where redirecting! Since I had a good (norton) antivirus system I did not think that I had spyware! , however a friend of mine came to my house and immediately told me that I had a spyware program, he entered into a site downloaded one of the free programs featured there and installed it on my computer, after running this program my computer is fast and downloading normally, whilst my homepage was also restored.
