    Help! Virus!

    My mum's computer has a virus, I think. There is a naked guy dancing around her screen. Can someone diagnose the virus and tell me how to get rid of it? We need to get rid of it quickly because her computer is basically her work.

    Google "Online virus scan"

    When you do a search there we be some results for the top trusted antivirus programs which all offer a free online virus scan (i googled for this just earlier).

    while its a pretty good fix for most, at the moment. Yea, i'd say upgrading to a full up to date software version is definitely needed. keep the definitions always updated, schedule frequent scans etc. also there are pretty good free anti-spyware programs

    hope we've helped you quick enough^^

    After you open and run an infected program or attachment on your computer, you might not realize that you've introduced a virus until you notice something isn't quite right.

    Here are a few primary indicators that your computer might be infected:

    * Your computer runs more slowly than normal
    * Your computer stops responding or locks up often
    * Your computer crashes and restarts every few minutes
    * Your computer restarts on its own and then fails to run normally
    * Applications on your computer don't work correctly
    * Disks or disk drives are inaccessible
    * You can't print correctly
    * You see unusual error messages
    * You see distorted menus and dialog boxes


    These are common signs of infectionR*2;but they might also indicate hardware or software problems that have nothing to do with a virus. Unless you run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool and install industry-standard, up-to-date antivirus software on your computer, there is no way to be certain if your computer is infected with a virus or not. If you don't have current antivirus software installed or if you're interested in installing a different brand, visit our Windows Marketplace for software from other companies.
