First try to remove the spyware with the McAfee program.\n\nIf it doesn't work, for other spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nUse these software programs to remove your spyware.  It should prevent your McAfee from warning you with those pop ups.\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.  Good luck and have a nice day!

Scan for virus and it should/will tell you what potential if any spyware has been downloaded to your computer. Then you have the option to delete the files or not. I use McAfee.

download adaware by searching for it on yahoo... it gets rid of most spyware. You can also try to do a system restore if your pc supports it.

Uninstall all McAfee Products on your computer.\nInstall Free AVG antivirus.  It is free, will always be free, is compatible with Windows XP SP2, and is excellent.  Never have any issues, it works by itself, updates by itself every day, and runs itself everyday.  I love it.

I use a three-pronged approach. AdAware (as listed above), as well as Spybot (Search & Destroy), which catches some things AdAware doesn't and has a built in blocker to keep it out for good, and Spywareblaster, which is purely a blocker.

AdAware is a terrific utility for getting rid of spyware but does not protect your computer from viruses or trojans. There are free antivirus software programs available from download.com, the ones I have seen that seem to work fairly well are Avast and AVG anti virus.  You might also consider adding a firewall to prevent intrusion into your computer system. Zone Alarm is a good free one available from zonelabs.com.  Hope this helps

Get yourself a decent antivirus and antipopup like Norton, Symantec. \nSince I have it, no more popups etc...

I would run a spyware/virus scan on your computer. Ad-Aware and Spybot are the best, Windows Defender if you have Windows XP SP2. The first two can be had from www.download.com and the second from www.microsoft.com. If you continue to get popups, you can try some advanced removal tactics, but usually it's best either to take your computer to a repair shop who will remove it for you, or to reformat your system. Remember to backup your data first!

Even the best popup blocker will not stop popups that are generated by malware that has infected a computer.\n\nDo all 3 of these:\n1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/\n\n2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\n3. Scan for ad/spyware and remove (free download) with Spybot Search & Destroy\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

I recommend Adaware\n\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5\n\nI find it to be very effective, and is good at finding and removing the majority of spyware on your computer.\n\nOh, and it's free free free - my favourite kind of price

You definitely have some adware installed on your machine and your Anti Spyware-Adware is not detecting it.  Make sure that you have the latest version of Spybot and scan your system.  If that doesn't work then install the other good anti-adware program: Ad-Aware (free) available at most download sites including download.com and run that one.\n\nYou probably should also us a popup blocker to get rid of the "little notification" or use Firefox which automatically blocks popups.

You are infected with SpyWare. Get a scanning program to clean it.

I use a combination of Ewido anti-malware, Spybot S&D, and AdAware personal.  These can all be downloaded from www.majorgeeks.com.  I also use Google's toolbar - very excellent pop-up blocker.  Download it by going to www.google.com, clicking More, and choosing it from the list.

Try adding the following programs to your antispyware arsenal, Adaware by lavasoft, defender by microsoft, AVG by Grisoft, yahoo toolbar antispy, and as a last resort hijackthis!.

I would do a scan for adware and spyware, you might have a trojan on your computer; my mom kept getting pop-ups on her computer from the same ad and it was kind of annoying, but I downloaded a pop-up blocker.  Mozilla works too though, it blocks most of the pop-ups but it doesn't take off the spyware itself.
