I Don't know if this is the right forum but, HELP.

Today my web browsers have been infected by some sort of spyware and when i load up youtube or google or runescape it comes up with this:

"You may be victim of software counterfeiting

Your access to certain websites have been blocked because we detected illegal software usage in your device.

In order to continue browsing these websites, please obtain unlocking code to proceed."

Help me, when i click get code it sends me to a survey and thats how i know its spyware, How do i get rid of it.

Go to control panel on your computer and look for uninstall program. Go through and look if anything/programs don't look right. For example programs you didn't install.

You need to get your Hard Drive swiped out/ Cleaned out. Take it to your local PC shop.

Re-install your browser and look your installed software if you find anything suspicious.

Browser adware/ransomeware. See if [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] does the trick.
