How to get rid of virus'?

Question

So I THINK I got a couple small virus' because my computer has been running noticeably slower, but not dramatically. And I get random pop ups for really g*y **** like "Spicy? or sweet?" and just lame stuff like ads for MMO's and stuff. Even if i'm NOT on the internet at the time, they can come. All I have for defense is ad-aware 2007. Idk what it does, but it scans the comp for infected stuff and..deletes it. So whatever. Whats something I can use to get rid of the virus/problems I have now?

Answer 1

Hello there. To start off, i recommend you download an  anti spy-ware program known as "Spy-ware Terminator", just do a google search and download the latest. Its fast and its free. Run the scan a couple times. Secondly i recommend you have a "Fire Wall", if not, then download a program called "Zone Alarm Firewall" its a program that's also free, and helps prevent virues, ad-ware etc... Thirdly for maxium defence, download a program called "AVG free edition" which deeply scans for viruses.

There you have it: Spy-ware protection + Firewall + Virus Protection= Clean & Safe

Answer 2

Virus programs are expensive.  If you have your restore disk you can just save any files you have to a memory stick or burn a cd and just reinstall windows and there will be no more virus's.  That is how I do it!
