In the field of computing, the term spyware refers to a broad category of malicious software designed to intercept or take partial control of a computer's operation without the informed consent of that machine's owner or legitimate user. While the term taken literally suggests software that surreptitiously monitors the user, it has come to refer more broadly to software that subverts the computer's operation for the benefit of a third party.
In simpler terms, spyware is a type of program that watches what users do with their computer and then sends that information over the internet. Spyware can collect many different types of information about a user. More benign programs can attempt to track what types of websites a user visits and send this information to an advertisement agency. More malicious versions can try to record what a user types to try to intercept passwords or credit card numbers. Yet other versions simply launch popup advertisements.

I have experienced many Popup Advertisement and Warning looks windows. Please remember your PC has no problems and don't select YES or NO but Click only the Upper Right Corner X to close it.
Also, There are many Free Trial AntiSpyware offered on internet. I have tried some in the past and they are all LIAR. After I have installed those softwares on my PC, it become worst than before. I strongly believed that these so-called ANTISpyware or AntiVirus company are actually Spyware or Virus creator. I think this kind of business is worst than a ROBBER.
Finally, I chose to reformat my Hardisk and end the problems.
