Answer 1

Use any of the antiviruses for virus protection



eTrust EZ Antivirus

McAfee Antivirus

avast! Antivirus

Kaspersky AntiVirus





Step 1.

As soon as you suspect that your computer has a virus, remove your computer from any networks it might be on, as well as from the Internet, so that you don't inadvertently spread the bug to others. Unplug your network cable if you have to.

Step 2.

If you have virus-scanning (anti-virus) software installed, run it.

Step 3

If you don't have anti-virus software, you'll need to obtain some. If you can't get it from a network administrator or download it from an uninfected computer, you can mail-order it from a retailer.

Step 4

Start your computer (still not connected to a network) and follow the instructions that came with the anti-virus software.

Step 5

Keep running the virus-scanning software until your computer comes up clean.

Step 6

Reconnect your computer to the Internet and check with the anti-virus software's publisher to make sure you have the latest updates. If not, download them now.

Step 7

After updating the anti-virus software, run it again until your computer comes up clean.

Answer 4

If you can download and scan safely with no problem and delete, do not go into safe mode. However if you cannot open any of the downloads or connect to internet, go into safe mode.



Restart your computer, press F8 repeatedly, go into "safe mode with networking", download superanti spyware and malwarebytes (links below). Both those delete ANY virus. I scanned with both, some finds others that others don't find. So USE both and update both.



URGENT : Please go into Safe mode, do not ignore that step or else the virus will interfere with your activity (Example : Denying you internet access). Also viruses don't allow you to open up programs or anti-virus software, and being in Safe mode allows you to do that. In Safe Mode, the virus cannot interfere with you getting rid of it.





After downloading in safe mode, UPDATE them. PLEASE Update. You'll see this option, don't be alarmed.

http://www.superantispyware.com/



Quick scan and quarantine/delete/remove. And you are cleaned.





If those do not work, go into safe mode and download Spybot search and destroy. Update!

Restart and now you are clean.



Stay safe by downloading COMODO Internet Security (free) or Avira (free) and keep those anti-virus softwares I told you to download.

Answer 5

I suggest you run a scan with malwarebytes .

http://www.malwarebytes.org/



you can get malwarebytes here,

this is a direct download link

so you should have no trouble getting it.

click on this link ↓ and then select run.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/affiliates/2-spyware/mbam-setup.exe

INSTALL IT TO YOUR DESKTOP, update it,

then run a full scan and remove everything it finds.



some viruses will try to disable it

so if malwarebytes will not start up/install

save it to your desktop,

before you save Malwarebytes', rename it to something like XXXX.exe and then click on Save and save it to your desktop. Same thing after you install it. Before running it, rename the main executable file first



if it still will not install,

Right-click on the mbam-setup.exe file and change the .exe extension to .bat, .com, .pif, or .scr and then double-click on it to run.



If after installation, MBAM will not run, open the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware folder in Program Files, right-click on mbam.exe and change the .exe as noted above. Then double-click on it to run..



after you have used malwarebytes then do this online scan.

to make sure you have nothing else hiding away.

preferably in safe mode with networking.







☼good luck.
