    I keep getting a notice by Spy Sweeper I have something called pcwatch on my computer.

    Spy Sweeper cannot seem to remove it

    Have also run AVG anti virus and AVG spyware on it and nothing.

    Also have Spyware Blaster and Spybot ... again it is still there.

    If I need to remove this or can remove it can someone suggest how/

    Thank you

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Is your copy of Spy Sweeper a paid version or free trial? Please attach a log from Spy Sweeper that shows exactly what it is finding and where. Hopefully they have improved their logs as they have always been terrible in the past.

    If you really have PCWatch, things like what are mention in the below Symantec link may be found on your PC.

    Other than the above, if you need detailed help from us to check your PC for malware, then follow the below instructions.

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

    Thank you for the information

    Our Spy Sweeper is a full paid version.

    We will try the Malware you suggest.

    It sounds like I really need to get this off my system?

    Then try getting a log that shows us what it is detecting. It may or may not be valid.
