you go out to Bestbuy or something and buy antivirus software.  or, if you're not quite sure if you have a virus on your computer, download free antivirus software from the internet.  It's free, but it'll cost $$$ to destroy the virus.

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.

To remove the trojans and worms, install and clean using Ad-Aware and Spybot. It is better to update your antivirus and scan and clean the viruses also alongwith.

use a virus removal software like norton, macafee etc.  If you know the name of the virus you may be able to find it by using the search function (located by clicking on your start menu in windows xp) then just delete it manually.  You probably get a more thorough removal by using the software.  If the computer already crashed because of the virus, start up in safe mode and try the above process.  If that doesn't work, you'll probably just have to reformat your hard drive.

Virus/spyware.  If you know you ahve an antivirus restert the system tap F8 (multiple times) untill you get the boot options list.  go into safe mode with networking.  Log in under the administrator account (the one that you don't see in normal mode).  Run your scanns and also go to http://www.kaspersky.com and run the free scanner there.  This will ensure taht any viruses and spyware are not running in the background so you can get rid of them.  If you find something run it again.  I've seen more viruses pop up on a second run of scanns before.
