I got some virus on my computer and I know nothing about computers! Ideal situation right? Anyone know where I can get something to "clean" it or something?
I personally prefer AntiVir over AVG, but that's just my personal preference.
Any one of those free anti-virus is better than nothing, and yeah install Spybot that was already linked, run those and you should be fine depending on how nasty of a virus that's installed.
I hear viruses are actually heavily polarized. If you have a strong enough magnet, you can put it near your hard drive, and it'll suck those nasty viruses right up.
once the shit gets on your computer, all bets are off, get a friend to wipe your machine and reinstall, then install all that antivirus stuff before you get infected.
I also recommend Avira AntiVir, AVG 8.0 Free Edition and Avast! 4 Home Edition as your free anti-virus apps. Just don't install all 3 into your computer, pick 1 that appeals to you, as they're all effective and efficient.
