unlike these amaturs who posted before me and suggested using system restore which doesnt really delete the virus and in most computers requares the cd's i recomand you do this

firest of all scan your computer for viruses with a free program (which most likely wont delete it)

www.downlaods.com has pleanty, i recomand registry doctor

then enter your registry
START>RUN>(type in) regedit

HKY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURRANT VERSION/RUN
and delete the file anme that the program wasnt able to delete

THEN

HKY_CURRANT_USER>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURRANT VERSION/RUN
but it may not be in this folder, it all depends on how your computer is set up.

hope this helps ask me if you need any more help

REMEMBER TO SAVE YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE YOU MESS AROUND WITH IT BECOUSE IT MAY COUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR MACHINE
FILE>SAVE REGISTRY

Start + help & support - then type in system restore -- then find the date before u got the virus - and set it back 2 that date. if that doesnt work then download a virus cleaner such as norton and delete it. =)

I wouldn't suggest using system restore since it won't remove the virus. Update your antivirus then run a complete scan of your entire computer. It should find the virus and give you an option of repairing it. If you don't have a virus scan, you can go to the link below for a free virus scan. Once you've repaired the file, reboot your computer. When it boots up, go to start, programs, accessories, system tools, then system restore. It will bring up a screen with 2 options, restore to earlier point or set new restore point. Click the set new restore point then follow the on-screen directions.

This is how you set your computer to go back.

1. Click Start and go to all programs
2. Go to Accessories
3. Go down to System tools
4. Click on system restore
5. Follow the directions on the program.

That will set your computer back. But I'm not sure if it will kill your virus. You might want to get a virus protection program. If its a bad virus (And I mean a BAD VIRUS!!!), then you might have to reformat your computer. (WHICH YOU DON'T WANT TO DO!!!) Reformating your hard drive will delete EVERYTHING on your computer. So, for minimal problems, get a virus protection program such as Norton AntiVirus. Good Luck!

1) u can kill the virus by getting a anti virus to kill it after scanning your computer. this can be bought at walmart for 20 dollars. or 2 you can restore your computer by going to start all program then goin to accerioes then restore computer. hope this helps you out.
