Rule #1, If it sounds to good to be true don't open the file. Once e you open a file that is where most of your viruses get into your PC by mail and especially downloaded programs that carry the guys with Hammers.....lol and their Buddie's have knives a AND little crawling insects.
If you want to learn how they are put in software you should learn how a computer operates and talks and how to program with Java and HTML and then you will get the picture very quickly.
Now, when I learned to make programs there's do and don't'. The Federal Government will burn your butt big time if you make a program designed to crash start ups on PC because you infect their as well and this causes a havoc. Learn computers and Be friendly. but don't turn criminal. The best Hacker which is now a Convicted Felon isn't even allowed near a computer and can not even have on in his house. There are consequences for using knowledge in a corrupt way!

That is a scam. I had just purchased a computer and did a free virus scan. Then I did it on my old computer. They just tell you that so you will pay for their service. Don't be scared. You can purchase virus software to stay safe. Those people show you a ****-load of viruses. Forget them.

If you download AVG Antivirus Software (FREE) it usually has tools in it that can help safely remove the virus. If not, get the file names of the virus and go to SYMANTEC.com. They have an area dedicated to manually removing viruses. They'll have a printable list of steps to delte most viruses. I know symantc is a part of NORTON ANTIVIRUS, but you do not need Norton antivirus to go to their site. hope this helps

I use microsoft everything, they have awesome stuff for free. I upgraded to the windows defender and it's always running to let me know everything is ok. It's the Beta 2 version I think. Anyway, I love this stuff, it's awesome. Good luck with whatever you decide to try.

go to http://360.yahoo.com/wektech and you will find links for many free tools for removing nasty stuff like virus and spyware. Do not believe those free scans, they often lie to get you to order the product.
