Do you do delete zwinkys viruses?

Question

Someone in my family downloaded zwinky and while it was downloading it downloaded a whole bunch of viruses and the zwinky icon wasnt there not even the toolbar so i really want its viruses to come off.

Answer 1

I got some too and I didn't even download it.  I used yahoo anti spy on the Yahoo toolbar in Firefox to get rid of them.  I bet other anti spy software would find them.  I wasn't going to keep them long enough to find out.  I use Avast as active protection and still got them.  You may have to uninstall the zwinky program.

Answer 2

You don't delete ANY virus. And why in the world are you operating a computer these days without good antivirus and anti-spyware protection? If someone downloaded zwinky, it was installed and must be uninstalled. Whatever came with it will have to be removed. You need to get Avast 4-Home or AVG 7.5 antivirus, both free. And then you need to get SpyBot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware from download.com. They are also free. Between these, you will be able to rid your computer of viruses and spyware.

Answer 3

scan your computer with an anti-virus program while in safe mode. if you do it in running mode they will remove but they will come right back. safe mode will delete them from your system.
