Answer 1

If you suspect you have an infection, there are several things you must do.  Unfortunately, if you find one infection, it is highly likely you have another one. A virus, trojan or worm are all different types of infections/malware and there are some great FREE programs that can help you.

First, clean up (delete) your cookies, temp files and temporary internet files. I prefer to use Ccleaner (available at www.filehippo.com) to do this, rather than the built-in DISK CLEANUP. If you want to use Disk Cleanup, you can find it if you:

- Double-Click on My Computer to open it up

- RIGHT-click on your C: drive

- Choose PROPERTIES and then click on the DISK CLEANUP button

- When done, reboot your computer.

Delete these files daily or run Ccleaner every day right before you shut your computer down.

2 - You should also have a good anti-virus program to help protect your computer. AVG FREE is an excellent anti-virus program, which can be downloaded from  www.download.com.  You might also choose Avast or Avira, both also free programs from www.download.com.

3 -Since NONE of the anti-spyware/anti-adware programs are 100% accurate in finding and removing spyware, you need at least two programs which you will run one after the other, not at the same time.

There are three excellent free ones:

--Spybot, Search and Destroy

--Ad-Aware

--Spyware Blaster

All are available FREE from www.download.com

You will need to download, install, update (and IMMUNIZE in Spybot) and run them, one at a time. Be careful with the NAME of these programs - there are "look-alikes" with very similar names, that are in fact spyware themselves! Reboot after you install each one!

After this current infection is cleared up, be sure to run both of the above programs at least once a week if you are on the internet frequently and/or like to download music or files.

NOTE: Some infections prevent your from downloading the above programs. You may have to use a clean computer to download the programs and copy them to a thumb drive or CD. Then transfer the install files to the infected computer and run.

--Occasionally you will not be able to run these programs without being in SAFE MODE.  To get there, reboot your computer and tap the F8 key, repeatedly until a menu comes up.  You want to choose SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING.

4 -You should also have a good firewall to help protect your computer. Zone Alarm makes a totally free version (watch you don't download the 30-day free trial of the paid version). You can download this from the manufacturer at www.zonelabs.com <>http://www.zonelabs.com>

Good luck!

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free:

Download, install, update and select Quick Scan

Answer 5

first:When you get a message from windows that you have to destroy a spyware and you can go to www.example.com

actually www.example.com is the spyware.They create a virus and trick you into buying their soft.

The best thing to do is to get one of the softs that someone mentioned above.OR if those softs cant do the job:

search on google for "spyware-name removal instructions" or "spyware-name manual removal" or somethijng like this

where "spyware-name" is replaced with the name of the website (without www. and .com)

Answer 6

You should use an antivirus program and antispyware software, if your computer is now infected with viruses and/or spyware.

Here you have more information on computer security, as well as good and free programs that you can download into your computer:

The  website list top ten the best and newest anti-spyware in 2008.

http://toptenantispywareviews.com/

All are safe and can be trusted and you can download one.

Answer 7

you can use Ad-Aware which is available at, http://www.lavasoft.com/ and its free.

Answer 8

superantispyware.com don't buy any antispyware especially the ones that the 'computer' recommends. Many spyware programs trick you into buying their own software so that you can get rid of the 'virus' they gave you.

Answer 9

Use the following programs:

Spybot - Search & Destroy

Avira AntiVir Personal

Spyware Doctor Starter Edition

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Malwarebytes alone should be able to remove the infection with a full scan, the rest of the programs are to protect yourself in the future from other infections.

Answer 10

The best thing is to use windows defender that come free with windows.
