Although we all hate computer viruses, it has now become a fact of life in day to day computing, especially for those of us using the windows operating system. So here is what you have to do if you are unfortunate enough to encounter one. 1)If you are connected to any network, make sure you disconnect from that network and pull out the network cable as you don't want the virus to spread throughout the network. 2)If you have an anti-virus software installed, run it. If you don't have it installed, borrow a cpoy from friends or family or purchase it. 3)Keep running the anti-virus till it clears your computer of all viruses detectable. 4)Reconnect your computer to the internet and go to one of the many anti-virus sites that offer free online scanning. Run them till you computer is again clean. This is to ensure that all virus are removed as very often a virus detected on one anti-virus software may excape detection on another. 5) Once you are quite sure your computer is clean, update your anti-virus software files and consider adding another layer of protection in the form of a Firewall software. The Firewall makes it more difficult for intruders to get on your computer and also prevents malware from connecting to the internet from your computer. 6)Lastly, exercise good common sense, do not download questionable attachments from your email,or visit sites that may harbour unknown malware and viruses. Prevention is always better than cure

Another thing you can do is startup your computer from a boot-cd with a anti-virus prog built in. Most of the virusses get loaded in the start-up of your PC, with the Boot-cd they don't get started. Even if you have a anti-virus program on your PC , try to run a different one. Make sure the antivirus prog has up-to-date virsudefs. since the are new virusses every day.

I think people who recieve viruses mostly get it when they are downloading something off of a torrent or a P2P Sharing thing where they are taking files that are supposed to be bought for free. People just slip a virus in them and you are doomed. Sites with cracks and stuff also carry many ways to get you to open up your comptuer to viruses so watch out for that.

i heard from some people that there are some viruse that attack the database of the anti-virus , then the virus can run wethout to be detected by the anti-virus so you have to connect you pc infected with an other anrun the anti-virus from the other , and repere the problem !

I agree with Lawmatchmaker. The best way to kill a virus is to not get it. Always update your Anti-virus software. Don't download questionable files, open suspicious emails, or go to known virus sites. One of the current most dangerous viruses, or so i have gathered from the letters people keep sending me, is the "Invitation virus", so if you get an email labeled "Invitation", follow Lawmatchmaker's procedures.;

Whenever my system is infected with virus I take measures according to the nature of the virus infection. When it is severe I had to re-install the operating system itself. This really is irritating one since it takes several hours to update the windows and internet explorer (since I use ocassionally just to check the behaviour of my websites in internet explorer). But most of the times I rely on Norton Anti-virus software which is doing the job pretty well so far.

actually, i very concern about it, so i protect my computer in good condition. i scare 1 day, my data could lost and my personal detail like password will expose. This is the ways i protect my computer 1. install windows, and then install all software needed. (*make sure computer free from virus, trojan, worm and spyware) 2. backup your computer. (i use norton ghost) 3. if can, make a or few copy to your important data, in DVD, Harddisk or any storage. 4. if you know your computer mayb infected, run antivirus and clean it. (but i recommend restore your computer with your backup, because antivirus may not detect all virus) hope this will help those face with this kind of problem
