Well... 1.GET A REAL GOOD ANTIVIRUS NOTHING FREE A GOOD NORTON ANTIVIRUS ITS ABOUT 40 DOLLARS OR MORE IM CANADIAN SO BUH 2.LOOK IN YOUR SYSTEM FILES FOR ANY FILES THAT HAS 0 BYTES OR FOR FILES WITH NAMES THAT ARE SUSPICIOUS LIKE blaster.exe or zamu.exe 3.If you must have a free antivirus use that along with an anti spy ware program (you can get a good free one from Microsoft) and manualy deleted the registry keys that both the programs tell you are infected, type regedit in the run box thats how you can access your registry keys though watch out these files are important to your computer and if the rong one is deleted could mean your entire system wont function right 4.Search up just the file name of a vurus that your free virus software says it found on your system in the windows search box located in the start menu (this hardly ever works) The Best thing to do is pick up Norton or Symatic antiviruses A good free antivirus rogram is avg from grisoft.com and a good free antispyware program would be microsoft anti spyware beta from the mictrosoft website keep your computer clean by not downloading anything that is free unless its from a secure safe site like microsoft or a well known site like the nasa site.DONT EVER DOWNLOAD KAAZA ANY THING FROM GATOR CORP OR ANY SMILIE PROGRAMS though they wont cause harm to your actual system 1)They are spyware and are monitoring your every move and in cases like gator are even monitoring your keystrokes and 2)the affiliate advertisers that work through these programs can cause alot of harm because they can access information on you at any time due to the previously mentioned programs security flaws and even get a real malicious code onto your computer In the case of something real funky turn off your computer and unplug your modem then rinstall windows before you do anything so you have a clean slate!
