How can I go about losing an Internet virus?

Answer by  John (9008)

How to elminate a virus depends upon the virus. For some, you may have to re-format your hard drive. Commonly, though, any anti-virus software (such as McAfee or Norton) works.

The most common way is to get an anti-virus software program which can scan your computer for the virus and attempt to remove it and repair any damage done (this can be tricky, however, since it depends on how much damage the virus has already done). Any computer retailer will carry copies of a legitimate anti-virus program.
