I don't know what the hell happened to my computer, but I just experienced the scariest moment of my life...

A shit load of spyware pop ups started coming up when I walked over to my computer. They just kept coming and coming. There was a red x on the taskbar where AOL security icon usually is, and I was like 'shit shit, what the fuck is in my computer????'

Then all of a sudden my background changes, to that poison sign, and dripping red blood, and said something like "YOUR COMPUTER IS OPEN TO PUBLIC VIEW. DOWNLOAD ANTI SPYWARE IMMEDIATELY"

I was freaking out, I couldn't get to AOL protection, so I restarted, and restarted again, it just kept happening,

I just did system restore, and the icons for the spyware things are still there, but nothing seems to be popping up or anything.

Did I fix it? Also, what the hell do I do now? Do I habe to uninstall the spyware somehow?

It's mostly gone now that I did system restore *knocks on wood, waits for witty puns*

The only thing is that the three 'spyware' programs that entered, the icons are still on the desktop screen. But they are broken icons. Hopefully I killed them.
