Downstairs(parents) computer has a weird spyware thing I never saw before. The background says COMPUTER IS INFECTED, and there is a little icon where the AIM, MSN, volume icons are, it is a big red circle with an X in it. Says computer is infected, spyware stuff like that. I never saw this before any info?

I've never come across that before. My advice would be to not let your parents touch the computer. 80% of the messed up PCs out there are from parents who don't know what they're doing.

Someone better get Adaware running on that computer, fast!

Spyaxe is nasty and hard to detect but it can be removed.
