Tips on removing viruses?

Post by iTz_WaR »

Well, I have A LOT of viruses on my computer. I have no clue how to remove them. I used an anti-virus but when I click on the button to remove them. My computer crashes.

AntiVirus programs are meant to protect against viruses, not to clean an already heavily infected computer.

Actually, anti viruses usually don't stop a virus. But are more adept at removing them once they're on your system (they're easier to detect then to prevent).

So, they don't remove them? They just stop it from doing anything or something like that?

Most of them can remove better than they can prevent.
