I think I have a virus on my computer, can anyone tell me how I can get rid of it?

Question

I have SBC Yahoo Online Protection, will that help me get rid of my virus?

Answer 1

Without you telling us the name of the virus it is hard to tell you how to get rid of it. However, you can try the scans below. The first one is for viruses and the 2nd two are for adaware/spyware.

Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.


Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php
