WinPC Antivirus is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only WinPC Antivirus can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads WinPC Antivirus trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, WinPC Antivirus offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, WinPC Antivirus does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

My home computer has this. My husband opened an email from someone he knows and its been just like you described and we’ve spent the last couple of evenings trying to get this taken care of. We have Adaware Program and the Norton Anitvirus and this will not take care of it.
I chose to manually remove it, and it worked with no problems. I didn’t have 2 of the keys that it suggested to remove, but I removed the others. Thanks!
