How can I get rid of a possible virus on my Computer?
My computer is running slow..And it has signs of a virus..but not really sure if it is or if there is way too much junk that is in files,,,I have 1000's of songs and photos both on here..I have been trying to get rid of them but still things are popping up etc...I deleted over 1000 photos by putting them on CD's and still there is not much a difference..If I have a virus...How hard is it to get rid of...I recently purchases an updated anti virus (Norton Anti virus) It only goes so far and says it can't finish...Even after I deleted all those photos...Can I do anything or do I just have to keep deleting files???? Please help if you think you can..I really appreciate it...

first i would suggest to get some virus protection such as norton anti virus 2007. we use it on our computer. also if you know any on ew that is a comuter person ask them if they can ecover your pc bexcause it sounds like you have a malisious viruses that detects when you are doing things on your computer. it immediatly comes back and does twice the dammage more than whT YOU TRIED TO FIX. it was probably encrypted into a music video or a downloaded program or somethin at you got off the internett....i would strongly suggest asking a close friend that works on computers for aliving to recover your pc and refress your whole system. ALSO DONOT, I REPEAT DO NOT USE ANY ONLINE SOURSE THAT SAYS IT WILL DELETE THE VIRUS BECAUSE THAT COULD VERY WILL ADD MORE ENCRYPTED FILES THAT WOULD INTERN ADD MORE TO YOUR PROBLEM!!!!!!!

Go to http://malwarebytes.org/ and download Malwarebytes (its free)
Do a full scan and delete any infections found.
This is very effective.
If you want to make your computer faster. Go download a free 30 day trial of Norton Utilities. Even if you dont buy it will get rid of all the crap making you slow.
BIG WAY to make you faster is stopping things from automatically starting up when you log on your computer.
GO to start menu and type in MSCONFIG. Click the startup tab and uncheck everything but your security program and then reboot.
If you have xp... type MSCONFIG in the RUN command.
Dont have a antivirus? Get pc tools for free. http://pctools.com/
