Hi Guys,
I have a problem that I can't solve no matter what, I have on my screen a pop-up that states: "Warning Spyware dected on your computer"
Win32/adware detected
Win32/ privacyremover.M64 detected
and then instructs me to install a anti-virus and spyware remover to clean ny computer.
I have McAfee anti virus and spyware and the security center says that all is clear, but I ran my cleaning program just to see if I could get the pop-up off the screen, to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions, Please ???

Give this a shot Warning! Spyware Detected removal guide (http://www.spyware-techie.com/warning-spyware-detected-on-your-computer-removal-guide/)

If your technically oriented use the manual removal method and you won't have to download and install the software that the automatic method requires.

bigh2o, Thanks for the response,
You said if I was"technically oriented", I would laugh, no, I actually am not technically oriented, and would need someone to walk me thru the process.
Many thanks,

Then just use the automatic process listed on that page. It involves downloading a free utility and following some simple instructions.

Thanks to everyonr that helped me with this difficult situation, somehow after all the fiddling with the computer it vanished.
So thanks again ,
