How do I Eliminate BHO Pop-Ups?

Trojan-Spy.win32.BHO slows your computer.

Trojan-Spy.win32.BHO is a malicious program that generates pop-ups. These pop-ups tell you that your computer is infected with Trojan-Spy.win32.BHO and that you must purchase an anti-virus program to remove the infection. This wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that the anti-virus programs advertised in the pop-up, including Micro Antivirus 2009 and Vista Antivirus 2008, are actually computer viruses. Rather than waste your money purchasing a computer virus, remove Trojan-Spy.win32.BHO and its associated pop-ups.
