How to remove virus(s) from my computer?

[arkhangelsk]

I downloaded one of those stupid things on facebook where it has a virus, and my computer's acting wierd. i have this Security Tool thing that keeps on bugging me, wanting my credit card info to buy the antivirus, not sure if it is part of the virus that is disguised. I have Windows 7. Is there some way i can manually remove the virus(s) from my computer.

try out different antivirus programs.
download.com has plenty of free ones.
if that doesn't work, backup ur files and reinstall.
(if u do that, consider using comodo time machine when you finish reinstalling)

Tough. DO NOT give your credit card number out. Bring it to some specialists. If you need to get a new computer, get it at Best Buy and specifically ask that Webroot Antivirus with Spy Sweeper is already installed.

Ok, i dont know if i would do that (putting ur credit card number when it ask you) but you should get McAfee it will tell you if it has virus(s) and if it doesnt and it will remove the virus(s)

You probably infected by spyware, first download Malwarebyte's malware removal tool it is one of the best free tool in its field.

Run a full scan on it just to make sure.

After that if you don't have an antivirus on your PC yet, i suggest getting Microsoft's latest free antivirus solution.

Do a full scan with it too. Should be fine after that

It is trying to get your credit card number so it can charge on your card and not to sell you a legitimate security program. Do a search on the name of the program or "security tool" or whatever it is called and you might find a way to remove it. Never click on these links.
