I had a viruse on my Pc yesturday and i got rid of it with spy bot but something it did not fix was my systems time. The clock is now in 24/7 and it says VIRUS ALERT after the time. Im not to good when it comes to computers so i dont want to go around changing files not knowing what i am doing. So does anyone know how i can get rid of the VIRUS ALERT and switch my time back to 12 hour clock? Thank you in advance!
Sorry for spelling.

You still have the virus because, spybot is junk and is not a virus detector. Detects only adware.



Avira from Germany the free version as a very high rate of detection. 97.6% http://www.free-av.com/ Free you must update daily on a manual basis.



You can also download Superantispyware. Will resolve your problem. Finds viruses and spyware. Download the free version, update and run and in depth scan. http://www.superantispyware.com Free you must update daily on a manual basis, or purchase and get auto. updates.

Just go on google and look for free anti-virus or anti-spyware software websites. Then download it.

try a system restore to a previous date, or a repair on OS
