Download PC Privacy from PC tools.com it will help insure your privacy.

Yeah, oddly enough, it sounds like you have some malware on your system that is taking you to a site that is about removing malware. I think that is actually the true definition of "irony" (as opposed to some contrived pop-song about the idea).

Anyhoo, download some real spyware removal tools. Ad-aware is absolutely one of the best out there, and I always recommend it to my clients.

DL it, run it, and that should take care of the problem. Also, never click on that stuff. Don't trust any pop up that says your computer is infected or has any problems. They are all full of crap.

Ignore and close them....your "site advisor" is correct...

These programs usually install themselves onto your PC without your permission.
They'll show fake system alerts or fake security alerts to trick the user to buy the Paid Version.
The most common spyware removal tactic is to uninstall PCPrivacyTool by using the "Add/Remove Programs" utility. However, as there may still be hidden PCPrivacyTool files, it's possible that PCPrivacyTool will reappear after reboot.
Ad-Aware, Spybot and SuperAntiSpyware are the programs I currently use to eliminate popups, spyware, and adware from my computer. They are well-written, and do not add popups or ads themselves.

SuperAntiSpyware (free)

Spybot S&D (free)

Ad-aware SE Personal (free)


Check for updates before performing a full system scan.

I would not recommend buying any programs and wasting your money when you can remove them yourself without spending your hard earned money.

Check this article, it has complete information to deal with pop-ups and spyware....

http://compset.net/article_adware_popup.html

Pop-ups are created by Adware installed by different sites on your computer. To stop these pop-ups, you need to remove special keys from your computer which are installed by those sites.

Good Luck!

you need to first examine out what number consumer money owed are created on your pc.. by potential of going to regulate Panel> consumer money owed... examine out what number money owed have administrator privleges... Thier is default account ( Administrator) which consistently has administrator privleges different than your account because it is being created by potential of pc itself... so so which you could bypass surfing utilising any of those money owed having administartive privleges & the bypass returned to regulate panel > consumer money owed n provide all rights on your account n keep the settings... After that log in utilising your account i'm hoping you does no longer have any situation... which you're dealing with on the 2nd...
