How do I remove spyware and other viruses from my computer?
I've tried alot of the free download programs and they are no giving me the option of REMOVING them. If I quarantine them does that remove them or just holds the spyware and stuff into a folder? I am currently using Spyware terminator and so far I'm not to sure it's doing the job right.

- I wish I knew, I have no clue...
- Scan with Avast! and it will delete the viruses. Scan with Spybot Search and Destroy and it will get rid of the spyware.
- get norton internet security. its great. run a full system scan and then when it shows the viruses it'll erase them for u. the reason your getting so much spyware and viruses is for downloading free programs. they all suck.
- Quarantine is blocking the malware from accessing on your PC. Try Anvir Antivirus it removes viruses and SuperAntiSpyware for your spyware problems. Both are free and available at download.com http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html?cdlPid=10850129 http://www.download.com/Avira-AntiVir-Personal-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10322935.html?tag=lst-2&cdlPid=10867326
- Your antivirus programs such as McAffee will remove your viruses. I use Spybot.com to remove spy-ware. It's free and one of the best.
- Hmm, well if Anti Virus programs aren't working for you, the best thing to do is to post a Hijack This log on a tech help forum. A professional will get back to you and give you instructions on removing our infection. Be patient though, as they are very busy. Make sure to explain your problem clearly as well. Then try downloading a good firewall and anti virus to help prevent against future infections. Windows Firewall alone is not good enough. Some good Anti Viruses are Avast! Home edition, AVG, and Avira AntiVir. Some firewalls you may select are Comodo, and ZoneAlarm. Download a anti spyware also, such as, SUPERantispayware. Also make sure your computer is up to date with the latest fixes. Good Luck and remember, be patient!
- Avast antivirus SUPERAntiSpyware Avast is really good. you can delete, and if it moves it to quarantine just remove it from there and if you are using Internet explorer, you could switch to mozilla firefox or opera, they are safer and faster (and firefox has some awesome extentions)
- Go to www.Download.com and type in spyware removal in the search bar. A bunch of programs will pop up some free and others not. Some of the best of the "freeware" starting with the best are AVG, Ad-aware, Spybot search & destroy, and spyware doctor. I have used them all and they work very well! It is best to use at least 3 of these programs when cleaning your computer becuase what one doesn't find the others mostlikely will. On a side note www.download.com is a great site if you are looking for any computer program.Good Luck!
