I've got Win PC AntiVirus on my computer somehow. I've tried to get rid of it manually by following the instructions on a website and it didn't work. Malware bytes isn't finding it super antispyware isnt finding it. McAfee is running right now and has detected four things but the scan is not complete. Will McAfee get rid of it or do you have any other ways to get rid of it?

Don't know if McAfee will get rid of it or not, but Superantispyware will:

I am not sure about McAfee, but my friend had the same thing on her computer and ended up finding an article that showed her how to remove it and convinced her that she needed better protection for her computer.
Here's the article:

The two programs you have, MalwareBytes AntiMalware and
Super AntiSpyware will both remove the malware.
Be aware though that the malware is constantly changing to
hide from the security programs. That is why it is most important
to update each program to the latest updates before scanning.
SAS works best in safe mode. Be sure to update before booting
into safe mode.
Both programs update daily and sometimes two or three times a
day.
Vundo is the original culprit and it downloads more than just the
rogue antivirus. Some of what it puts on your computer will require
an expert to help you and in a lot of cases a complete reinstall
of your computer software.
