My wife opened some virus email on facebook. How can I get rid of it?

I have AVG Anti Virus Free edition, but it doesn't seem to be getting rid of it. I am getting popups all over the place. Please help!!!!!

Free scanner, use it ~

Go to the Task Manager by right clicking on the taskbar/superbar and click task manager. Then go to the process tab and look for that facebook virus. Usually a virus process has a weird name.

Watch PCWizkid's video on how to remove viruses:

Yahoo toolbar has anti pop up and anti spy. If all else fails, then you have to re-install windows. This will get rid of all virus's and junk files. Computer will be faster and free space will be at the maximum. Save all music and photos as they will be lost. I actually do this twice a year as it makes your pc like new.
