Defender is not an antivirus.
Try for free Avast Family ar Antivir
To clean your PC, load CCleaner and RegCure
Add ad-aware, spywareblaster coupled with spybot

Try Kaspersky antivirus. Though it is Not free but you can use the trial version for 30 days and then remove it. It is pretty good at it and pulls out a lot more that others don't detect.
After that I get AVG antivirus on.
Hope these will keep your computer clean.

if yo have a virus, I assume you are using Windows. down load and install AVG antivirus, its free and works really well. Also download and install Windows Defender, go to msn.com and look it up. its the first option. after you install defender, run windows updates, after that, run a full scan on both applications, this will find the virus and then you can delete it.
Hope it help.

Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything. This because the program you download can get infected.

Disable "System Restore" for Windows Me and XP, then restart your PC to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/en-us/management/sysrestore_faq.mspx

Now restart in safe mode.
To get in safe mode Press "F8" upon boot up.
Select "Safe mode with Network".
Go to Start - Run - type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).
Do a full scan of all your drives. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.
Go to Start - Run - type iexplore http://www.ewido.net/en/ Enter(ok).
Do a full scan of all your drives. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.

**NOTE**: Do NOT do anything else with your computer when scanning. This because you can start virus/adware/spyware/malware manually.

When no one of these scanners are showing anything you can reboot back to normal mode.
Turn on "System Restore".
---------------
Antivirus: BitDefender Online scanner - will scan and remove threats.
Anti adware/spyware: Ewido Online Scanner - will scan and remove threats.
---------------
**NOTE**: Only have one antivirus program and one firewall installed on your computer.
Anti-adware/malware/spyware are ok to have more off.

You need to get one antivirus program, one firewall, pop up blocker and some spyware/adware/malware removers if you don't have it.

windows defender is for adware, not virus.

for virus treatment, get either avast antivirus, avg antirivirus or avira antivir. all are free.

scan your comp. for viruses, if nothing changes, there is a good possibility that you will have to reformat ur comp. Be very carefull if u do that. read your owners manual or get info on the net.
