how do i know if i have a computer virus?

But norton and it will tell you where trojans and virus and will delete them (some not trojans but it will tell you where to go to find them) You can get trojans al kinds of way like limewire when you download a song or download anything thats harmfull.

its not true the software that shows u that ur pc have 41 viruses worms and torjans is an adware and a spyware or a virus ... people sometimes mistakenly install those kind of adwares spyware and viruses of the net to there system and those can never be removed ... the only way i've removed those is using the eset internet security software it removes the fake software the viruses spyware torjans and other threats coused by it and related files ... no other virus guard like avg norton mcafee etc have gone through these kind of problems so try the trail version of eset get it from www.eset.com ... if this wont do then its a must that u need to back up ur data delete all the partitions and create new once install ur os and softwares again to ur system cuz probably ur whole pc harddisc is getting infected with these kind of threats ... thats the only way sorry ... dont take time to do it cuz its gonna slow ur pc more and more give crash problems show false threat messeges give erros and it may corrupt ur hard disc ...

Hello,

This is not good. This is a sign of spyware infection. It more than likely means that a spyware program has installed itself onto your computer.

A couple months back, I had a very nasty spyware infection. It completely screwed my computer up, and I thought I was going to have to buy a new computer.

I tried a couple of free spyware removal programs, but they could never fully delete all of my spyware from my computer.

They also could not fix the errors in my registry.

It seems like you have a similar problem.

It wasn't until I found a website in google that allowed me to scan my computer for free, and then decide if I wanted to delete it or not. Of course I did, and I haven't looked back since.

The program I use is AdwareAlert, and it has kept my computer spyware and pop-up free for a couple of months now, it also has an optional registry cleaner (which is probably also a good idea).

You can find the website below.

Good Luck!

you don't have to buy protection, you can get GREAT protection for free. Don't click on it at all, Anti-virus-1 is spyware/malware.

Go here:

post your problem/question in there and someone will get back to you before too long giving you good instructions.

These people are really sharp and their help is absolutely free. They will help you get rid of any infections you have.

anti-virus 1 , anti virus- 360 ..there are so many different name u can hear these days .these are not actually viruses ..these are malware or malicious software.most of the time its only in your startup ..which comes up when u starts ur computer. to remove it from startup follow these steps

start --run-- type msconfig--startup tab --disable all--restart ur computer --put checkmark on system config utility on restart

now go to download.com and download spybot search and destroy.

hope it helps !!

Don't worry those are not true they just want you to buy their program. don't listen to their lies. I suggest you go out and buy a trused program like Norton which is pretty cheap and scan and remove any viruses you might have
