right firstly there is no need to swear on the forums. Secondly when you purchased the PC did you get any antivirus/internet security software. if not why not. A virus can enter an unprotected PC within 5 seconds of that PC going online.

try some of these for size and to do a virus/spyware scan.

www.grisoft.com
www.mcafee.com
www.symantec.com
www.lavasoft.com
www.microsoft.com

the first three will enable you to either download a 15 day trial version of their antivirus program or will enable you to do an online scan.

either way get yourself a full and complete antivirus/internet security program:rolleyes:

You can perform an online scan at www.trendmicro.com . Once you get the system clean make sure you install antivirus software, sotware removal software, and recommend a firewall. Free versions are available.

No one can tell you what utilities you need without first knowing what virus you have.

Follow the recommendations and instructions in the links below to get started.
