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.
