My computer has some virus and do any of you know the best way to destroy virus or keep them away? Would help a lot. Really need some of the things.

I think there's a thread about this already. Best recommendation would be get some virus/Spyware protection. Watch what you download and Click.

Adware SE is a Decent one that is free... I really don't know anymore.. I don't have any security or anything on my Computer because I don't need it.

Any other advice I can offer for getting rid of Virus would be Risky and Advanced so I am not going to ^^... I do alot of Screwing around..

You could give it a shot and call professionals.If you're not extremely computer savvy you will mess up.

I'm a computer future pro,but I've messud up sometimes before.

If you know a decent amount about computers and know of some good anti-virus programs, then I'd try getting an anti-virus program first. I use Avira Antivir: Personal Edition(free) myself and it works great, but there are some other really nice anti-virus programs too. If the anti-virus program doesn't work or you don't know about computers much, then you should probably just call a technician and have them fix it.

Well my job involves making sure computers work and in previous jobs I used this anti-virus program called Super Ad Blocker. Just download the free trial version, run the scan, and then uninstall when done. That's removed the virus 99% of the time. My old boss would usually just tell me to back up data from the harddrive and then reformat and reinstall the operating system. Those are the simplest ways. Oh and don't bother taking it to any "pro's" because it will cost you more money than it is worth. If you can't do any of this stuff yourself then I bet you have a friend who's secretly a computer nerd and would do it for you. Good luck!
