In the right corner of the "start bar" at the bottom of the screen, I have a little icon that blinks back and forth between a blue shield with a question mark on it, and a red shield with an x on it. I have McAfee installed and also a spyware catching device, and neither have alerted me about this, but every 5 minutes, I get a balloon in the corner of my screen claiming that my computer has a ton of spyware. If I right or left click on the icon and/or balloon, it takes me to a website and tries to get me to download something called "Virus Heat," a virus protection program (I can't tell if it's fake or not). Help me get rid of this please!
Is this a virus, or spyware, or what?antivirus software
VirusHeat is a scam, do not purchase it.
Your computer has a Smitfraud infection. Follow the removal procedure here using the free SmitfraudFix removal tool:

it is some type of malware - definitely
mcafee isn't all that great, and your "spyware catching device" could be fake too.
