Answer 1

go to ur control panel and add/remove software

remove any software that your don't use and filesharing programs as adware can be installed by some programs eg netants and morpheus

go to the start menu then click "run"

type "msconfig"

select the tab "startup"

unselect everything

Click OK then  DO NOT Restart the Computer

(unselecting everything may stop programs like messenger from appearing at startup but these should start again once you run them)

now run your anti virus and your anti spyware

Now restart your computer

This should should remove the viruses and spyware and all programs that cause them as well as the startup command to activate these programs

It's a malware problem more than a virus problem, use the following:

Remove all infections that it finds after scan.

Spybot S&D:

Its free with Google pack, untick all boxes except Spyware Doctor. Download install, update and run.

SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition:

http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware...

Download, install, check for updates, then select Scan your Computer, select your drive and select Perform Complete Scan

VundoFix:

Disconnect your computer from the internet

Run vundo

Restart your computer

Run the tool again to ensure no traces are left.

If there are the reboot into Safe Mode and run FixVundo again.

If your desktop has changed or icons are missing also use:
