How do I remove this virus permanently?

Question

A couple of days ago I noticed windows were popping up in my browser that I hadn't opened. Knew right away it was a virus. Computer wouldn't let me restore to before the computer was infected (I'm not sure why :-[).

I know nothing about computer programs, etc. And I'm hoping to be able to get rid of this myself. I got a trial version of Avast which has found two Trojan viruses. I'm storing them in the "Virus Chest" till I know the best next thing to do.

Currently I have: Spybot Search & Destroy, CCleaner, SuperAntiSpyware, DiskCleaner, Avast, ZoneAlarm, and AdAware. Seriously have no idea what does what, I just saw something that said to clean, clean, clean the computer.

So do I do this again before or after trying to delete the virus? Will the Avast program get rid of the virus, or do I need to do more? How do I know it's really gone? Seriously I've thought it was taken care of but then when I restart my computer the background changes telling me I have spyware/virus and to download and run a program. Which I've tried doing for 2 days. This is the first time any of the programs found these viruses.......

Thanks!

Answer 1

Spybot Search and Destroy is for spy ware, CCleaner is for saving space by deleting unnecessary files that were created normally by your computer. Zone Alarm controls internet access; you'll want that one. What you need is a program like Avira Antivirus to run a complete system scan; If any viruses/trojans are detected, delete them unless they are important.

If they're already in this "Virus Chest," however, then you'll have to delete them from there, within Avast.

Answer 2

your better off getting AVG than avast .run spybot s&d but update first.get rid of adaware it conflicts with spybot s&d .
