When you get a computer virus your computer may get random pop-ups trying to make you download something or sell something to you. It can also spread itself across your P.C files and make it harder for you to remove it. If you do not have anti-virus software and are an inexperienced online user you should really get an anti-virus or just be more carful of what sites you go on. use norton 360 this hardly works on xp but is perfect for vista.

First, you should always have an up to date backup saved away from the computer. Second, you should have your security software up to date. Third, avoid clicking on links and visiting dubious websites. Fourth, run your anti-virus software regularly. Note: for a specific virus, try to get the name of the virus and search the internet for a solution. But, hopefully, your run with an anti-virus software will be capable to have removed or quarantined the virus.

Send it to your computer/laptop manufacturer and see if they can fix it, if they can't then you will have to scrap it and get a new one! Hope this helps!
