Reaching for the shotgun soon..

I (or one of my family should I say) have managed to pick up WINPC ANTIVIRUS on this computer. This means that every 7 milliseconds I get a pop-up telling me that I have 24 infected files and that I need to register to get rid of them etc etc. I am currently running Mcafee Total Protection ( obviously not that effective here) and can't find any tools that allow me to get rid of this bleeding rogue spyware. Does anyone have any advice??


Many more pop-ups and I will get down the Purdey.
