Windows XP virus 2008 removal!?

Question

ok, so heres the thing. I was just browsing youtube and i suddently got this thing where it said do u want to install so and so. i kept clicking no it wouldnt go away. i restarted my comp. Then i had this stupid virus protection thing which said i had like 1600 viruses... So i think i found the program and sent to recycle bin, deleted it and i havent had the problem.

BUT, my screen saver is the fraud virus notification and when i start an internet browser, it stalls then loads.... how do i fully get rid of the virus???

Answer 2

Download the free version of Superantispyware.  I use this program and will resolve your problem as this software finds nasty viruses and spyware and best of all does not conflict with your own antivirus.  http://www.superantispyware.com  Update and run and in depth scan.  Free you must update daily on a manual basis or purchase and get auto. updates.

Try booting into safe mode and running the following software:

Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

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

SmitFraudfix: http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.p...

Once you have removed it install Avast Anti-Virus and Comodo Pro firewall, then switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE this will stop it returning. (links on my profile)
