Is there a program that will clean the virus's out of my computer?

I just bought a laptop (used) and it not only had no protection, it has viruses. Is there a McAffee or something similar that I can download to not only put in protection, but to clean out what is already there?

    Either do what the guy above me said ^^^

    Or there's a MUCH easier way.

    Grab a hammer and swing as hard as you can toward your computer. Follow this by going to an electronics store of your choice and buy a new computer.

    you can turn it off and then press F5 when it asks you and it will be restored as it was brand new or you can download CCleaner works great :)
