My boyfriend accidentally downloaded a virus/spyware program on to his computer. It is one of those where it says you have spyware and pops up with "buy this product to remove it" and it is even popping up with false IE and Microsoft security bubbles. He does have McAfee 12 in 1 protection and even went out and bought this Spyware Sweeper program but it isn't seeming to help at all. When he clicks on the site, the product name is Online Security Center 7.1. The bad thing is, not only is hard to search for in search engines (because I'm getting real spyware prevention things) but it is blocking some sites like the McAfee support and links that tell him how to get it off. If anyone can help me out, we'd greatly appreciate it. He could always reformat completely but he has a lot of stuff he doesn't want to lose.

Currently the most effective way to remove spyware and adware infections is to use one of the many spyware protective software programs.
A good anti spyware/adware program will do 3 things that will clean your computer and then keep it clean. It will scan your computer to discover where the problem is, then it will run through and completely remove spyware from your system and then it will run on your computer in the background, defending you against future spyware attacks.
