Default !!!WINBLUESOFT!!!

My daughter has given me her notebook thats running XP Pro and Iv tried
McAfee all the way thru to CCLEANER but this WINBLUESOFT still persists to
pop up every few minutes or so. It has the system thinking that it doesnt
have any antivirus software installed on the thing. Within "Security
essentials" under "Virus Protection" it starts off saying "WinBlueSoft
reports that it is turned off... Blah blah blah".
& when the "Recommendations" button is clicked it has in the popup window...
"Register the WinBlueSoft antispyware to clean your computer and prevent new
security and privacy attacks."

Would someone be able to point me in the right direction to get this crap
off of this thing??
THANX N ADVANCE Wayne B.

with such and such and download this to fix for a fee!

I one other thing I have found to help with removing programs that don't
want to be removed is to run your anti-virus/spyware scans while in Safe
Mode.
