Here's a little antivirus cure that some of you may not have tried. at the 1st stmptom of a virus, power the system down, pull all external wires & cables, take the system out to the driveway and beat that fuckedup useless piece of shit into as many lttle pitces as you can using the biggest sledge hammer you can swing.

DISCLIMERS:1; I'm on drugs 2;This mehod of computer virus removal is not knwn to be recoverable and thefore is not endorsed by the more mainstream AV companies. use at you own risk.



JUST KIDDING.

AVG Free - Download Free Antivirus and Antispyware for Windows 7, Vista and XP

You can fumble around with things like Avast, Malwarebytes Antimalware(my favorate), and AVG and hope they get rid of it - remember to run them in regular mode and safe mode.

But problem is, most viruses won't be cleaned out by a simple virus scan. Shit like malware and spyware will, but a virus, now that requires some time and effort.

This will require you to be somewhat computer savvy, but you download HijackThis and do a system scan. Then google any entry there that looks suspicious, preferably from an outside computer. One by one, google them. It'll take a while. Eveuntually you'll pinpoint your virus, then you can google the steps to remove your specific virus. Alternatively, you can post your HijackThis log on the HJT sites and wait for a real expert to tell you how to remove it, but these days you're lucky to get a reply from them, they're so swamped. If you do decide to use HJT, do not delete things just because - do not delete ANYTHING that doesn't come up as a virus. You can cripple your system with a mouseclick with HJT.



Virus removal is tricky, thats why people pay us a lot of money to do it properly. When all else fails, possiby when Avast, AVG, and MBAM fail for you, just back up your documents and reimage the computer.

More often than not this tends to be the best solution unfortunately. Just make sure when you back up your files that you are not spreading the virus to another machine as well
