tip: dont ever use outlook express if you do.

 

do a google search on the particular name of the virus ur giving out and open webpages with steps on how to delete the particular wee devils. (that is if its on ur computer in order to get to ur emails to send it out)

follow the steps carefully as well cos u dont wanna break nothin

sometimes viruses can install itself and be written in special coding that will not let even the big name virus detectors catch as a virus cos i had a spyware on the comp a few weeks back and my virus protector wasnt picking it up at all.

 

try it

you need to delete your computer.

 

also you can try Ad-Aware

You should only have 1 virus scanner on your pc as if you have more then they may conflict.
