Default Goddamn pop up won't go away.

My dads computer keeps getting a popup that says something along the lines of System error, a trojan has been detected and can lead to corrupt files. It pops up about 15 times a minute. The top of the pop up says File secure 2.1 . It has a desktop icon to run a computer scan with file secure if you click ok on the popup, but it just tells you to pay for it, then run another scan. I have run scans with McAfee home edition, and with Ad-Aware free 2007 and found nothing, so i don't think there really is a trojan. When i go to control panel to delete this File secure program it starts the uninstall process but just kinda sits there. It won't uninstall. I have made sure no part of the program is running, and i have restarted the computer before and after trying to unistall it, But the mother ****** is still there. Someone help me....

Oh haha, when the program is running, it tells you what the trojan is. Its a **** Trojan lol.

HAHAHAHA no. my dad did it, he is a dumbass. Im trying to fix it. I have my own laptop he isn't allowed to touch. And somehow it hasn't had a problem yet. I run a McAfee scan and at least one full scan on Ad-Aware a day. Plus i have my firewall set to tight. And i don't download ---- that can ---- me up.

Go on Piratebay, find a win xp corp iso, burn that ----, enjoy your new windows you can put on whenever the ---- you want without even entering a cd key.

Or alternatively download Knoppix or another boot loaded Linux iso, put that ---- on a disc, load it up, surf your c: drive and kill that ---- without having anything windows running.
