How do you get rid of viruses on your computer without buying the software?

The computer I use has like 23 viruses of all sorts on it and I can barely get on the internet without it kicking me off!!!! HELP!!!!



How do you get rid of viruses on your computer without buying the software?free antivirus download



How do you know you have 23 viruses if you're not running an AV program already? If the AV program you are running is telling you that you have to ''buy now'' before it will help you out then dump that trash.



AVG provides a very decent free AV solutions and can be downloaded here: http://free.grisoft.com/



ClamWin is another good free scanner: http://www.clamwin.com/



If you're having trouble getting onto the internet, I highly suspect you also have a spyware issue. Go get Spybot Search and Destroy to sort that out: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...



And again, those are all free. Hope that helps.

Another poster already mentioned AVG Free, so I won't bother. *wink* It's the same program I use; it's free and has regular updates.



It also would be a really good idea to get a firewall. The basic firewall that Windows released with SP2 is, well...crap. A good free option is ZoneAlarm. They have a pay version that has a lot of nice %26 useful options, but the free version is perfectly functional. A functional firewall will not only limit what comes into your PC, but also what goes OUT--like info from keyloggers and such. Good luck.
You could install AVG, which is a free anti-virus software. When you install it, make sure everything updates, then unplug your computer from the Internet so the viruses can't communicate with the Internet, then scan the computer and remove the viruses.
Some of them will stay there once you restart the computer. Best thing you can do is have your OS CD and a valid serial if you need one to format and re-install the OS.
Some companies offer a dumbed down free anti virus programs. Really though...it wouldnt hurt to invest it a decent one to protect your computer, privacy, and information.
You can get mc afee free for an year if you have AOL account or if you register on AOL.. from here/
