will buying an antivirus software such as Norton Antivirus remove spyware, adware and pop ups from my computer
Jack M asked:
My computer seems to be infected with spyware. The bar at the bottom sometimes disappear and reappear. I have done a saf scan with Microsoft but at the end the problem remains. Right after the problem appeared, a program offeing to fix it pops up, it’s called WinIFixer and recommends me to get it. I don’t know what to do I have been thinking of going and purchasing a antivirus software from the store, but will that help remove the problem?

Stay away from Norton and do not download anything that pops-up. You will need to get anti-virus and anti-spyware. I do not recommend Microsoft which you mention you are using.
NOD32 and Kaspersky are the best anti-virus applications and much better than the best sellers Norton and McAfee (recent tests at av-comparatives.org). If you want a free anti-virus, AVG, Avast! or AntiVir all are better than Norton (install only 1).
No single anti-spyware application is perfect so I recommend using at least 2 different programs. Spybot Search & Destroy is one of the best. I also recommend SUPERAntiSpyware. Other free anti-spyware programs would be Adaware, AVG Anti-spyware (formally Ewido), A-squared, Spyware Terminator and SpywareBlaster.
I strongly recommend using FireFox, it’s a far better and safer alternative to Internet Explorer. If you add-on McAfee SiteAdvisor, it will warn you of potentially harmful sites. I also recommend CCleaner which is a free system optimization and privacy tool.

To clean up your virus/spyware problems
Update your anti-virus, remember to only have one anti-virus installed on your PC [If you do not have one]
Update your anti-spyware software. [if you do not have one]
and [free home edition]
Restart your PC in safe mode
And run a full scan with both.
While in safe mode, you may also want to have a look at your start up items by using msconfig.
Be careful with the items you uncheck, you can have a look here to see if they are necessary
You should also have a look at your IE Add-ons while in safe mode.
Disable any you do not use.
After you reboot back to normal mode, download and install ccleaner to fix any registry problems.
