Computer Virus Help
Hey guys
Somehow a Trojan virus has infected my home PC, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I run McAfee Anti-Virus and Adaware, both of which keep finding things and cleaning or quarantining them, but I still get a host of infection messages after that. So many pop ups come up indicating options to clean the virus, etc., but I am unsure what's legit and what's not. I've never had such a severe virus problem on a computer before. I'm frustrated and kind of at a loss what to do. Any assistance you can offer would be appreciated.

Can McAfee identify the virus?
I would recommend one of the online virus scans to identify the virus and then look on line for a method of disinfecting. |

Try the Kaspersky Online Scanner
http://www.kaspersky.com/ It might point you in the right direction. |

Nuke the hard drive from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I like that the post directly after that one is the "thank for the input, guys" so maybe we'll hear a news story today about a hard drive nuking from space  SI
