This does not really answer your question on how to rid your computer of a virus, but I have found out the hard way that it is best to NEVER open up or go to a site that ends in .ru

Well really ANY SITE can have something bad on it not just a russia extention...... (.ru)

I guess thet BEST way is to not run unknown things if your not sure what they may be....

If you bought it from Best Buy, take it there and have the Geek Squad guys do it for you. From personal experience, I can tell you they can clean up even the most virus-infested PC. Then install Webroot for future protection or have them do it for you. It works like a charm.

Good quality commercial anti-virus software should be able to run an in-depth scan of your file system and remove most viruses it finds. There are some free virus removal tools available, but I can't vouch for their efficacy.

Go to Google and search for "antivirus."

You get what you pay for.

BitDefender is awesome.
