• Answer:

  I recommend using these Antivirus programs, as these are the best ones that I've ever had: Avira AntiVir Personal Edition Classic (Free) http://www.download.com/Avira-AntiVir-Personal-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10322935.html?part=dl-10322935&subj=dl&tag=button&cdlPid=10831109 (Avira is better than AVG, based on my experience. McAfee and Norton are the worst ones, so don't ever trust them) Spyware Doctor Starter Edition (Free) http://www.download.com/Spyware-Doctor-Starter-Edition/3000-8022_4-10704508.html?tag=lst-1&cdlPid=10816516 (Spydoc is my lifesaver. when I had a horrible virus once, this one has been the only solution. Spyware Doctor is kinda system hog, though. Running it requires a lot of RAM and uses a big deal of resources on CPU. I suggest disabling it after every use) Update these two programs regularly. Also, download Smitfraudfix http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php and also Kaizer Virus Killer http://www.pinoyspy.net/node/4754 (download link somewhere below) They are DOS-based applications, but worked very fine on my computer! Don't be afraid using DOS applications, just follow the instructions and everything will be fine. In the Kaizer Killer, all you have to do is to double-click the application and it automatically removes most viruses in a heartbeat. Just use them in Safe Mode (to start in Safe Mode, press F8 a couple of times before the boot logo appears, you will be prompted to select one of the Startup options, and choose Safe Mode) The programs detected the viruses that has not been detected by the two GUI programs. Use Mozilla Firefox as your default browser (because it's absolutely the best browser ever) and always remember to update Windows for system stability. Hope this works for you. :)
