The best thing to do is install virus scanning software.  There are many options, the most popular being Norton and MacAfee, but both tend to slow down most computers.  I personally like using ZoneAlarm products for both firewall and antivirus.\nNot matter what, install the software and update to the latest definitions.  Then scan for viruses.\nThis works for both laptops and desktops.

If you tried all that already, next try to reboot or restart your computer, if that does not do the job, you should have some sort of spy ware to run.  Try using that to check for any more viruses, just to let you know once your system has been attacked it's very hard to free your system from them.  They become attachments in places you would not believe!  If your problems are not resolved I suggest consulting a professional, GL.

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.

Ok if u kept ur computer box and its not too old, ther MIGHT be a disk in ther that erases EVERYTHING. its a recovery disk and itll get the virus off BUT you have to reinstalll Everything and start over from scratch. If u cant find it call the computers maker and tell them ur model and everything they ask and theyll send u a disk in the mail. Fo some money though. PS. I HAD TO DO THIS BUT IT WASENT THAT BIG OF DEAL WITH MY COMPUTER. GOOD LUCK

Just scan the file for viruses after you download it.  A general rule of thumb is don't download something like a "bios" update from a hacking site or anything that looks like it "might" not be legit.  Check the size of the file versus the size of the same file posted on other sites.

I'd not worry about which are and which aren't (infected)...I'd run a virus program that scans, cleans, disinfects and deletes infected files on ALL computers.  That way you have no worries about trying to figure out which ones are, or aren't, and cover all the bases in one swoop!\n\nPS...try Panda Virus Scan, the professional edition...it's the best on the market, with hourly updates on newest viruses!

Run a virus scan from one of the online guys, get a anti virus program and keep it up to date, run a virus scan. Does the PC seem slow, does it seem to do things on it's own, do you notice network activity when your not doing anything?

Go to My Computer and do a left mouse click on the C:&#92; drive (icon) select (find) and type in *.tmp...delete any files tha have the .tmp extension also empty out your trash.\nAlso check and see how much drive space you have,,may be getting low...\nhope this helps

First of of what kind of virus protection program do you have? I'd say the best are security suites such as Panda Software, Norton and maybe Zonealarm Security Suite.\n\nYou'd also need spyware and virus scanners and there are plenty of free quality one on the net. \nex. Spybot Search and Destroy or Webroot Spysweeper\n\nHere's a link for spyware guide \nhttp://www.firewallguide.com/spyware.htm\n\nAnd last of make sure your firewall is enabled and just make sure that you know fully what you're downloading from the internet.

Then your computer will get infected. That's why you have to use a good antivirus program and when it finds an infected file delete that file!  Here you have some good and free antivirus programs:\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download/

install the best virus protection system that fits your budget, then run it until it's detected. if not, seek better protection, or help from a pro.
