AntiMalware

If you get a virus on your computer, here are some resources to help you get rid of it for free. Sometimes you must run more than one antivirus to completely remove the infected files. Taking your computer to a shop can be costly and time consuming. You can probably fix the issue yourself if you know how.

Also, always remember to back up your files before a virus is found. Worst case scenario, your hard drive has to be wiped clean. If that happens, you may never get your files back. Putting digital pictures, music, and important files on a CD or DVD is a great choice. Cloud storage is also good, and flash memory is OK, but risky (it can fail at any time.)

If you haven't already gotten a virus, CLICK HERE to download your choice of free programs which will prevent viruses from entering. Remember, these aren't for getting rid of the virus, these are preventing the entry. My favorite is Microsoft Security Essentials, which can be found when you click that link!
