Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
go to download.com and get AVG. it's free and all you have to do is scan you computer, and if you have a virus it'll fix it for you :)

Download AVG then do a scan.

Something else you could use is called Ad-Aware. If you go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
and click the download now button, it will download it. It is very easy to use and it will clean you computer very well. I also think you should renew norton antivirus. That would really help. Tell me how it went.

go to internetfrog.com and do a virus scan. You probably have spyware though or microsofts doing what it does best. Go get a free spyware program and seach your computer. You dont need to go to best buy either. Just go hit on one of the nerdy guys at your school and ask him if he could fix it. (im assuming your somewhat old (like 15 16ish) and that your a girl)

Well the answer to this riddle of have i or dont i is simple. You probably do.
First things first you should immediately update the software and run an immediate full sweep of all the drives on the computer. Yhis will hilight all faults and flaws.
I also have to comment that will probably suprise you. Any-website can cause a virus. The answer is that you should turn on windows firewall and make sure youre antivurus is constantly up to date and you should be fine :)
Hope i helped

Well, a virus can maifest itself in different ways, so its hard to say whether your computer is infected or not. Slowness can also be caused by spyware and such things as far as i know.
Anyway, you can buy all sorts of protection, but there are also free alternatives. I cannot guarantee that they will be as effective, but I have kept my machine clean without ever spending a dime.
Anyway, try check out these products:
Avast (avast is a free antivirus program)
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
adaware

See if this helps. Good luck.

if it has viruses, you should deff buy a virus protection thing. norton is good but theres stuff like blackice that is killer too. so shop around as for mysapce, no it doest but the interent itself does so ya u should get protecion!
