My computer is broken. Spyware coming out of its ears

I reckon he's inadvertantly installed something manually which has caused all this. Kaspersky is the best of the best, it rarely misses stuff like this, especially trojans which are almost two years old.

Nope, im very cautious of what i download and install.

The way i think its there is due to my little brother using the computer or a friend that had used it a few times :(
 
I would be very wary of Xsoftspy. Several people i know that used it had issues with it picking up on the Trend Antivirus files as Trojans.

Im sure there was a thread on this a long time ago that mentioned how Xsoftspy was blacklisted for deliberately creating false positives to be able to get people to upgrade from the free version. My recollection is poor and im sure someone will correct me though.

Edit:
Here is the tread i created asking about it.

And Here is the link saying about it being rogue antispyware.

I would try something else before you nuke tbh
