  1. no...... u need avast


  2. Probably not,

    You need to do a complete scan with a good spy-ware program  

  3. The spyware will still be on your PC. You have to remove it with an anti-spyware program.

  4. no u have to download a bunch of stuff to kill the virus

  5. nope, deleting the profile just deletes the profile...its still residing on the hard drive.

  6. First of all, spyware is different from a virus.

    Spyware or a virus may be removed depending on where it is located and what privileges the account has. A virus sitting on the desktop of a limited user account will be removed (maybe) if the account is deleted.

    An admin account with a System virus will stay.

  7. not really cuz u are using the same partition  so it'll still be there if u want the virus gone that way u need to delete the partition. Or formatt

  8. No

    i advise you wipe your computers hard-drive

    it's very simple to do

    and there should of been a CD that came with your comp. to do it, just make sure you back everything up

    and don't download anything illegal next time.
