McAfee should have place them in quarantine.. Use free version of this. update, and do full scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
just get a new computer
You got the infection. Your going to have to pay for the repair dude. The best antivirus software out there is Kaspersky 2010 but if you want the whole security program get Kaspersky 2009 because they havent place the 2010 version out on the market yet.
all not more than are free
malwarebytes.org. for malware
superantispyware.com for malware/spyware
download both. restart F8 at start up (safe mode) run full scans with each. Also suggest ccleaner.com to clean up registary . its free at filehippo.com. What McAfee misses this two should take care off. Excellent luck and be safe out there!

*sighs* dont use mcafee (i had that and i swear thats how i got a virus…it doesnt even help) Get AVG Free (its the best) and in terms of removing that virus, walmart sells these cds that can copy everything from your computer (except the virus of course) then delete everything (including the virus of course) and then when its done you place the second cd in and it has all your saved stuff.
I would go with Malwarebytes. I got McAfee as well but mcafee may possibly just tell me there were infections and couldn’t get rid of all of them, malwarebytes did the job. Its a fantastic piece of software. Make sure you upfdate it after download before scanning.
Remove Stopzilla it is very poor.
You must have active virus and spyware protection. You must also have a firewall.
Active Virus Protection: Install Free Avira or Free Avast. Avira is rated slightly better than Avast. Do not install both. Two active anti-virus programs they will cause conflicts when running.
http://www.free-av.com/
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
Active Spyware Protection: Install Microsoft Windows Defender (free, Included with Vista). You can have more than one active spyware protection program installed.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx
Make sure your firewall is active. Windows firewall is fine, though there are more advanced firewalls available, each with its own pluses and minuses.
Also install to further harden your computer against attacks (require manually updating weekly), Install
“SpywareBlaster” (free) Blocks 12,749 items
“Spybot – Search & Destroy” (free) (Disable tea timer and SD Helper):
Mode > Advanced > Tools > Resident > Uncheck tea timer and SD Helper After each update click Immunize button > click Immunize
Immunize blocks 116,523 items
Spybot – Search & End has a relatively weak spyware scan.which I rarely use.
Google names in ” ” not more than and click on first result.
To reduce you chances of being infected by visiting terrible web pages and downloading terrible software install
“McAfee SiteAdvisor” (free)
It places a box in your browser (Firefox and IE) that is green for safe sites, golden-haired or orange for questionable sites, and red for perilous sites. When you want to download software go to the software manufactures web site and press the McAfee button and read the reviews sometimes even even if McAfee rates it green reviews rate it red.
Install and at least once a month update and run:
“Malwarebytes Anti-Malware” (free version)
