Spyware POP up ALERTS!

One of my buddy's(seriously) was going to god knows what web sites. Now when I log on to my setting, my screen background is a different color and there is a big symbol that comes up and says that I have been infected with spyware. Its says click here, which I don't. Any help?

I would run a bejeebus of scans and if all else fails, reformat. Or if it hasn't gacked your system restore you could do that. Worked for me a few times. If that doesn't work you should reformat. I'm about to have to reformat myself. I got loads of trojans from a cracked cs3. I think I learned my lesson. Oh and never let someone touch your computer. I mean come on.
