How do you find the name of a virus?

The most common way is that it tries to get you to buy a product like security tool. the virus name is now security tool. then you google remove security tool bleeping and you get this link:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remo...

then you scroll halfway down the page and you find the removal instructions

the other way you find a virus name is your antivirus pops up and warns you that a virus or trojan is trying to infect you - it usually gives you the name of the bug. that is the second way you could know. the third way is you would say ' when i surf the net, i click on a link and my browser goes to another site instead of the site it was supposed to go. some of us here would recognize that bug and tell you to follow these instructions:

hope this helps

Well, I think that you meant "how do i know the name of the virus my antivirus detected?" well, the antivirus will tell you its name and location.
