You run a anti-virus program.
If it finds a virus, it removes it automatically.

Download free 30-day trial of Nod32 from. Let it run and remove anything it tells you to. Then, if you like the program, buy the full version. You need to have a current anti-virus program if you want to avoid spyware, and viruses.

you have messenger spam!
XP only,Vista has this done already.
all programs--OR CONTROL PANEL--administrative tools--services
all services are in alphabetical order
Alerter Service
right click--select properties--select disable from drop down menu
do the same for
Messenger Service
also do a complete spyware and virus scan afterwards using your anti-spyware software [ none ? get Spybot here
http://browseraddons.friendpages.com
and be sure to include a anti-virus scan using your anti-virus software [ none ? get from above link ]
installing a rootkit scanner/remover is also a WISE move and get it from above link.
in Vista,the administrative tools is on your start page,go from there
for POP UNDERS
that's those pesky ads that show up AFTER you close a window.
add these urls to content advisor's blocker
http://b.casalemedia.com
http://c1.zedo.com
http://banners.bid4prizes.com
http://www.zedo.com
http://media.fastclick.net
http://ad.yieldmanager.com
http://c5.zedo.com
I.E.
control panel--internet options--content tab--content advisor--approved sites
choose block or never allowed
Firefox
tools--options--content--load images automatically--exceptions--add address--choose block
privacy tab--cookies--exceptions--add address--choose block

hi, generally you have to reformat your harddrive and reinstall windows. i always advise people to have a second harddrive in their computer and do a norton ghost image off their main harddrive and put the backup image onto their second harddrive so in future you will not lose all your data when you have to do a reinstall,hope this helps.cheers.
