I HAVN'T BEEN ABLE TO DOWNLOAD STUFF FROM MICROSOFT specifically "downlaod.microsoft.com" my computer is even slowing down trying to write this on all internet browsers other than safari it says error loading page or could not find host on safary it does the same thing only on the page where you click the download button it doesn't show the drop down bar where you select your connecting type... in fact it doesn't show any drop down bars on that page at all. itz only on those pages and i can't find out why. also could someone plz check out spywarestop.com that one doesn't work either. and i am serious about my computer typing slow right now. and not only typing slo.

1. you have malware
2. spywarestop is malware

"SpywareStop is a corrupt anti-spyware parasite that is actively distributed using Google adds and various shareware/crack websites in order to get into users' systems. This program claims to be a legitimate spyware remover, when it is in fact a scamming application that displays exaggerated threat reports in order to mislead users into buying its counterfeit "full" version. Additionally, it refuses to be uninstalled from user system.

Their website does not provides critical information for user like what spywares they can remove and what is they licensing model. They claim that their software is free download, however it is not free software. No exact pricing information is provided.

The domain spywarestop.com is old, howerver the software appeared only this year.
Stay away from SpywareStop, and if you happen to have it on your computer, and use our manual removal instructions to get rid of it. There are much better and safer products in the market. "

3. If you've been infected by spywarestop, read these instructions to remove it.

4. go to a "clean" computer and download a GOOD anti-malware program like malware anti-bytes and clean out your computer.
