If the spyware warning is in it's own window it could be coming from the built-in Messaging Service (no, not Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger or Live Messenger). The Messaging Service runs as a service and was intended to be used in office environments, to enable internal messages to be sent to the staff. But unscrupulous websites also use that service to try and get you to buy their product by scaring you with false warnings.
Go to Start-> Run. Type services.msc and press enter.
Scroll down to 'Messenger' and double-click it.
Stop it if it says 'started'.
Set it to 'Disabled'.
Click 'OK' to save changes.
Reboot
