Firstly, you shouldn't use ANY payment services if your computer has a virus or you are suspicious that it may have as safety comes above all else.



But don't worry, there's a way through.



You can manually delete/get rid of viruses. And it's quite simple, no advanced skill required.



Here's how...



1. Run the Windows command prompt.

You can run the Windows command prompt by either clicking on the Start Menu\All programs\Accessories\Command Prompt or by pressing Windows + R on the keyboard and typing "CMD.



2. Look for the directory or folder where the virus resides. Go to the folder where the virus is hiding. Its usually resides on the Windows temporary folder or on the Windows system folder. Check partitions and drives for viruses, e.g. type "cd e:\virus"



3. Show the hidden virus and remove its attributes.

It will be easier if you can see the virus. Remove the virus attributes, which are read only, archive, system file, and hidden file. e.g. type "attrib -r -a -s -h virus.vbs"



Delete the virus. Say goodbye to the virus by deleting it, e.g. type "del virus.vbs"



(This does not cause any damage or interfere with your hard drive and rest of computer)

Answer 4

Get AVG, it's free, and it will probably get rid of the virus. If the virus pointed you straight to a website that's supposed to deal with it, chances are it's either a scam, the antivirus company is not real and is another virus trying to get your money, or it was put out by someone trying to get you to pay for their software. Don't use what it tells you to, because chances are that's working with the virus instead of against it. Try downloading AVG free, it gets rid of most viruses, and it's good at keeping things from attacking you again. Another one that's good at getting viruses is called malware bytes, but it's maybe a bit too good, because it deletes anything that might be a problem, but it's good for a thorough search. Here's a link to AVG:

I've been using this for a while, and it works well. Also, delete the picture if possible.

Answer 5
