  1. that virus warning may be the work of spyware in your computer.Use webroot's spysweeper  to sort out your problem


  2. when i get viruses, i simply go to http://delete-virus.com and i'm able to get them removed free of charge.

  3. Not neccesarily a virus can be obtained from files downloaded from the internet and emails from shady senders. I would recommend you find yourself a good anti virus to protect your computer from anything particularly nasty. Make sure all Email's and files are scanned before they are opened prevention is better then a cure.

  4. No, not exactly viruses are on the network they can attach themselves in an e-mail, or can be in something you may have download from an insecure website. But a hacker can upload a virus into a computer but the cause you have viruses on your computer doesn't exactly mean you got hacked. Get an antivirus software you can go to www.avg.com or get defender pro at wal-mart is for $20, windows firewall is not that strong to block malicious programs.

  5. Spyware :

    Software that collects information about a particular user or organization without their knowledge. You might never guess that you have spyware installed on your computer. In general, the goal of spyware is to:

    trace user actions on a computer;

    gather information on the contents of your hard drive; in such cases, this more often than not involves scanning several directories and the system registry in order to compile a list of the software installed on the computer;

    gather information on the quality of the connection, bandwidth, modem speed, etc.

    Viruses  :

    Programs that infected other programs, adding their own code to them to gain control of the infected files when they are opened.
