Receiving pop-ups that my computer is slow, someone is attempting to hack my
system.... It appears to be some malware. How do I remove this.

removal steps

I don't find anything on "antispynet" so this could be either a version of
Smitfraud or the Winfixer types. Since I haven't seen much of the latter,
I'd go through these steps here:

Then go through the rest of the general malware removal steps from the first
link. It might be a good idea to run Ewido also. If all else fails, run
HijackThis and post your log to one of the specialty forums listed at the
first link (not here, please).

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
