Microsoft has released their own anti virus software called....Windows Live OneCare. You can buy it at Wal-Mart, for I believe $40 you get a three year subscription. It is probably the best availabe since it is made for them by them. You can also do a free trial.
The first link below is where you can go for more info and a free 90 day trial. The second link is where you can find it at Wal-Mart.
By the way this includes anti virus, anti spyware, and a firewall and is also updated regularly by Microsoft.

hi, perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus. but you need to pay for the software.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!

etrust antivirus.
buy the cd, and never pay a subscription charge. very cost effective in the long run.
and also, this program doesn't mess around. the second a virus is on the computer, it nabs it.

If you want to pay for it and are technical, get Mcafee Virus Scan Enterprise. If you don't, get AVG (Grisoft.com).

In my opinion, AVG FREE @ Grisoft.com
