I have spyware and adware?
I keep getting pop ups after downloading mix tape. The pop ups are mostly ads and an alert saying my computer is infected by spyware and adware. My security system keeps getting disabled too and I am not doing it. I want to restore my computer to Dec 26, but I can only restore to Dec 27 which is when my computer started to get pop ups. Only Dec 27 and Dec 28 are bold allow me to press on them. I have made a restore point on Dec 27, but stil can't restore to Dec 26. How do I make it so I can restore to Dec 26? I have also done a full scan with my McAfee security, but it doesn't find anything. I have also deleted the mix tape I downloaded, but I still get pop ups. How do I get rid of them? Should I just buy a program to get rid of spyware and adware? What should I buy? Also why
Could you add a link to where to download??

You can't restore to the 26th if it is not in bold.
Don't buy a program tho' - go and download malwarebytes and SUPERantispyware, update them both and run a scan in safe mode (F8 @ boot) and normally. Then turn sytem restore off and back on again to get rid of the infections stored therein...
These apps should make short work of any malware BTW...

Download Ad-Aware and Spybot, they are both good anti-adware/spyware programs, they might/should help a bit, as far as the system restore I'm not sure but run those programs and that might help.
