most virus scans will only scan it but will make u purchase the software to clean it out. Is there a free software that u can download that will do both for free?

You can do an online scan at http://housecall.trendmicro.com that will scan and remove viruses. If you need free security software, here are some recommendations from available freeware:
firewall:
Comodo (http://www.comodo.com), or
PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/firewall)
Comodo recently released version 3.0 of its firewall, which adds an intrusion prevention component that's very effective, though it does take time for it to learn your system, and requires some ongoing attention by the user to make sure programs don't get improperly block. Comodo is one of the strongest firewalls available, freeware or commercial, according to the independent testing site matousec.com.
antivirus: (listed in order of preference)
Avira (http://www.free-av.com)
AVAST! Home (http://www.avast.com)
AVG (http://free.grisoft.com)
all provide realtime protection and automatic updates; all have ICSA and VB100 certification, but Avira has been among the highest rated in tests by several respected US and UK computer publications.
antispyware:
Spyware Terminator (http://www.SpywareTerminator.com) or
Spyware Doctor (http://pack.google.com)
either one will give you good, realtime protection, along with
Ad-Aware Free (http://www.lavasoftusa.com) and
Spybot S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org) for additional removal ability.

Well If you know or feel that your Computer has numerous amount of malware.Well what I recommend.That you either do a system recovery that maybe be built in your computer.In order to use it first reboot then quickly press F10 or F12 depending on your system.Then go ahead and follow the intructions so forth on what option you want modified.If you choose the system recovery it will format and reinstall windows.Therefore just be like you almost bought it.If you really want to be secure wipe your system with kill disk (http://www.killdisk.com/) or DBAN (http://dban.sourceforge.net/).Open up the file and burn the ISO file with Nero,Magic ISO or ISO Buster.After you have burned it insert the CD reboot the begin the proccess."Note That This Will Wipe Your Hard Drive Completely Even All Partitions That Means Even Your Built In System Retore".So Please use with caution.When the wipe is complete reinstall windows.When thats done immediately begin downloading Spyware Doctor and Firefox only (http://pack.google.com/intl/en/pack_installer.html?hl=en&gl=us&utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-synsearch&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=google%20pack).Once google pack downloads and installs only spyware doctor and firefox then immediatley install AVAST Antivirus ( http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html)please dont use AVG it sucks.

You better fix your copy-and-paste, King.
Most of your royal links don't work.
The second parenthesis is fouling the link.
