My home computer (not this one) has a problem of some sort. My dad got on and somehow caused a problem I think its some type of virus or something. It says its Anti-virus 2009 from Microsoft but I know that its not. My father downloaded it thinking it was necessary to remove the 216 “errors” that I supposedly had. So I brought up my McAfee security center and did a scan. Also while I was doing this scan I got pops ups left and right telling me my computer is infected and I need to purchase a removal tool. Also I got porn pop ups telling me my computer has been infected with porn pics. That’s when I knew it couldn’t be real. The scan found 1 item which I removed but it didn’t fix the problem. I tried to uninstall the anti-virus program my father downloaded but its not listed under add or remove programs from the control panel and on my start menu on the program list it gives me 2 options…I can open the anti-virus program or uninstall it. When I clicked uninstall it immediately said that it was successfully uninstalled. Well its still there. Also it replaced my background wallpaper with a white background with a window open that says I have spyware on my computer. I can’t change this background it won’t let me. My dad and I have no clue what to do. Please help. Thanks in advanced.

This happened to me with Pest Trap. My daughter used AVG Spy ware and it removed it after 2 scans. It can be downloaded for free.
