Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free.

0. Backup anything important.
1. Reformat.
2. Install Linux! Not windows!!! Unless you LIKE dealing with this, or you COULD get a mac/apple.
3. Enjoy and stay out of trobble.

how is the world did you get all these viruses? You are going some place on the internet you shouldn't. Use Norton and get them off, stay out of the smut sites and you will be fine. Clean up and stay up to date on your anti virus.

An anti-virus program would be a good start. If my computer gets infected beyond repair I simply reinstall windows and start over.

Do you actually know you have viruses, or is your pc just slow?
If it's not the latter, then get urself a good antivirus pogram..avast/spysweeper/adaware/etc: you get my point...do some google searches, and you'll come up with what I'm talking about;)

these are free btw
