I think my computer has a virus.?

I think it got on my computer from going on some website or something. At first it was just making a bunch of "Spyware Alert" windows pop up, pretending to be something to get viruses OFF of the computer, but I'm not downloading that crap. I've run like ten McAfee VirusScans but it said it didn't detect anything.

Then I just got on my computer after a couple hours and when the desktop came up I saw that it wasn't mine. It was a red picture of a 'radioactivity' symbol, and it was an advertisement that says, "Your Privacy Is In Danger, Download Privacy Protection Software Now." And whenever i click on it it directs me to a website trying to sell anti-virus software.

HOW DO I GET THIS OFF OF MY COMPUTER WHEN MCAFEE VIRUSSCAN DOESN'T DETECT IT?

Please please help.

Hey Eric,

This is not good. I don't think it is a virus because this is a sign of spyware infection. It more than likely means that a spyware program has changed a value in your registry.

A couple months back, I had a very nasty spyware infection. It completely screwed my computer up, and I thought I was going to have to buy a new computer.
