Answer 1

first use an anti-virus program

Answer 2

Try to get McAfee or Norton Anti Virus to scan and fix the problem if there is any

Answer 3

www.grisoft.com

This is a free anti-virus program that you can download and should able to get rid of the virus you have. Do you have anti-virus program on computer already? It should have gotten rid of the virus for you. If not, use the free download and get rid of it.

Answer 4

I agree, go to trend micro, you can do an virus scan online.
Also you can just rescan it with your antivirus. But I'd do both of these tasks.

I personally do not like Mcafee. I prefer norton if your gonna buy a program. I have used AVG and its free and an excellent program.

Answer 5

use
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0
scan pc in safe mode

lets get that out of ur pc ur some antivirus will miss key keylogger and trojans . frist of all you need to download avg antispyware this is verry good in getting all kinda bad files . then you need to download Adaware
a-squared< is verry good in picking up traking software files that is on the pc and it will find them . then download antispyware blocker that will find any type of virus . trojans files with antispyware blocker when you run that at the top of the box ur see
C:\ WINDOWS
remove the word windows and just leave in

C:\

then hit scan it will search all of the pc every file for virus or trojans and this will not have any problem with ur antivirus you have i have this my self .

then download spyware doctor that will search the pc for even more spyware adaware . just having 1 or 2 antispyware dont cut any ice at all you neeed what i said to download . when you have them run ur pc in safemode and scan the pc with then 1 at a time . this way from safemode the trojan and keylogger cant hide them self coz there is not internet access on in safe mode all the software i said to download will get the trojans and keylogger

if they say some are in the registry you watch what path there in and get in the registry and right hit on that folder and hit remove dont worry when the pc restart up win xp will creat a new clean folder for you

Answer 6

norton anti virus is the best ( for me) make sure its updated and out not out of date it should let u know when it is. also there are alot of fake pop up ads that tell u ur computer is infected so that u will buy their stuff. best bet tho is get an updated anti virus program.

Answer 7

Go to www.trendmicro.com and do a scan. It will tell you what virus you have and also a way to fix it.
You can also check www.symantec.com and do the same thing.
Go to www.avast.com and download the anti-virus program. I used to use avg until I got a virus AVG didn't find.

Answer 8

Go to www.grisoft.com and download their AVG to check your computer for virus and get rid of them. Also download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.com for your anti spyware program. And run them every day.
