Viruses are downloaded by viewing an object, a page, a photo or even a website that looks harmless.
Windows has a program in it called ActiveX. that allows communication between your files, software, and other components with and by an outside computer. This program is also used to update your computer thru WindowsUpdate and update Norton, Mcaffee and to communicate with many other
websites. Unfortunately, the bad guys also know about ActiveX and use that to change files and programs, and do lots of destructive things too.
View your ActiveX. Go to tools, internet option, Security, custom and ActiveX . Its in your own computer.
You get rid of viruses by using Anti Virus programs that negatitate them and Post a Policeman right at the door so they do not enter your computer. Viruses are spotted by the Antivirus and deleted out and prevented from entering.
