Have you install any antivirus software on your computer. If not then, here are some of the tools which are recommend one, which you can easily download which are totally free of cost and does great job if used properly.

1. AVG, a very good antivirus and above all totally free.

2. Hijackthis. 'The' tool for cleaning up job.

3. Malwarebytes. very useful tool for removing rootkit, adware, spyware.

4. SDfix. this is a geek tool, but quite effective.

5. Combofix, this is also a geek tool but the creater has put some uselessly expiry thing.

6. Spybot search and Destroy. a great spyware removal tool.

Malwarebytes & Superanti Spyware are the recommended software which you can easily download from the internet. Install it on your computer and then update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and uperantiSpyware. Delete what ever you find while scanning, if it fails to completely remove the virus/spyware from your pc,then download updated Avast antivirus software from the internet. Run a boot scan on your system which will remove all the viruses and spywares from your computer.(Click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC)
