Here are a few things you can try to remove a computer virus:

   

Keep your antivirus program up to date. If you have already installed an antivirus program on your computer, it's important that you keep it up to date. Because new viruses are being written all the time, most antivirus programs are updated frequently. Check your antivirus program's documentation or visit their website to learn how to receive updates. Be aware that some viruses block common antivirus websites, making it so you cannot go to the website to download antivirus updates. If this happens, check with your antivirus vendor to see if they have a disc you can use to install the latest updates. It might be possible for you to create this disc on a computer that is not infected (for example, on a friend's computer).

Turn off System Restore. You should turn off System Restore before you try to clean the computer to avoid reinfecting it once you've removed a virus. To turn System Restore off, follow these steps:

  1. Open System by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.

  2. In the left pane, click System Protection. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. Under Protection Settings, click the disk where protection is turned on, and then click Configure.

  4. Click Turn off system protection, and then click OK. Repeat steps three and four for each drive that has protection turned on.

  5. Click OK.

Once you've removed any viruses from your computer, you can turn System Restore back on by repeating these instructions, selecting the disks in step three that you want to be able to restore later, clicking Configure, and then clicking Restore system settings and previous version of files.
