What's the best way to get rid of viruses on your computer?

Get for sure a anti-virus.  I was with Norton and hated it.  I have a 2 month trial with Macaphee. (If you download "netscape" browser, you can have a free trial too).  Once you got a virus and can't get it out of the system, even with anti-virus, you have to find where it is (usually in keys) and manually delete it.

There are a few things you can try:\nSymantec's web site has a comprehensive list of viruses and the removal tools for them.  They also have an online scanner that should remove the virus.  Microsoft has a new service that checks and scans your computer for viruses and clean them out.  Trend Micro is another company with an online virus removal service. see website list below:

While you are on www.download.com, go for Antivir personal edition. Free and effective. Bitdefender is another good stuff. I paid for it, I am using it for a year, but there is also a free verion available.\n\nAs people answered, adaware and spybot are very nice tools. \nCCleaner is a cleaner to protect your privacy. Very good and trouble free. Can help to get your PC faster.

There is a free online virus scan called Trend Micro. I have been using it for 3 years and I've never had a problem. Otherwise you can delete it yourself by finding the registry key and the file where it is located on your computer. I wouldn't recommend that to someone who isn't computer savvy though.

Just run your virus scan program and delete it from there, like Nortons or McAfee.  If you dont have an up to date virus program, you can find a great one for free here... http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1  Hope this helps!

1]  An online anti virus scan such as the tren micro one :\n\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\n\n2] Use an anti virus application such as AVG Free ( www.grisoft.com ) or my personal favourite clamav ( www.clamwin.com )\n\n3] Use a system restore ( which doesnt always work since there may be viruses lurking in your system restore point(s).\n\n4] Back up all your data and wipe your hard drive clean by formatting it and re installing windows O/S or your O/S along with any drivers and or software you need or want.\n\n5] I can only say dont use dodgy p2p file sharing apps or go to any dodgy sites to reduce getting the viruses in the first place also use safer browsers such as firefox or opera :)\n\nThere is also the risk of spyware ( If you really want a 5th suggestion ) Then I suggest you get an apple mac !!

The only sure way to get rid of it is to format the hard drive and reinstall windows. The people that allow your PC to be infected with this stuff get better and craftier every day with methods for circumventing anti-virus and spyware protection. Its a never-ending battle. You are better off just formatting the hard drive every couple of months and you will never have the problem again.

You will have to use an anti-virus software for cleaning out a virus-infected PC.  Just run the software and it will detect and clean the viruses.  You can buy commercial software like Norton or McAfee or download and install free anti-virus software like AVG.
