Everyone is saying AVG. I agree but another good one is Avast. There is no harm in doing a full scan with both.

There has been some great recommendations already but this is where I need to add my opinion.

Now it's been suggested that you download AVG to remove these viruses. But yet no one here knows if you already have another Internet security or a security suite in general protecting your computer. Now back to AVG... installing this to remove threats on an already infected PC would be pointless. AVG is not perfect, as a matter of fact AVG isn't even remotely good at removing malware from an infected system. So installing this would put you deeper into a hole none the less slowing down your computer.

Here are my recommendations:

I highly advice you go to this website and download the correct version for your computer. There's only two options 32Bit & 64Bit.

What will this program do? It's very simple. This program was created to find and destroy what typical Security Suites missed. It has evolved over the passed years into an overall amazing scanner. Hitman Pro is a combination of 7 antivirus engines each striving in their own section. This scanner is typically for System32 and Start up only so once you've finished this scan there will be a second process to follow. If any threats are found you have the product free for 30 days and the removal is also free.

The Second Scan I would like you to run is; Malwarebytes

Here is a link to the download simply enter the Captcha and the download will begin immediately.



What will this scan do? The Scan provided by malwarebytes will allow you to remove 90% of the infections on your computer. This strives in an overall scanner but lacks in detecting corrupted Java files and some strings of malware. Once you install this it is 100% free and most importantly the scan is free for life. Once the scan is finished there is one final step to this process.

The final thing I would like you to do is; Go to this website and download the free scanner.

What does this scanner do? This scanner provided by Eset will provide the boot to what ever Hitman Pro & Malwarebytes missed. How you may ask? Well it's simple this is a core scanner. Instead of this program just breezing by files like Malwarebytes and Hitman pro does, this goes straight down to the core. Scanning every single thing attached to that specific individual file. This scan will take a while and it WILL find what ever is left over on your computer.

Have a great day.
