Hi, I'm Chris Bryce, from SuperService.com. I'm going to talk to you today about how to remove viruses for free. There's a couple of different ways to go about doing this. One of the first ways, is if you already know what the virus is. If somehow you've scanned for viruses and you know that you've got a certain virus on your computer, and you've got the name of for instance, Trojan Virus I. Then, you're going to go and you're going to search, either on a major search engine, or on a virus software website, such as Semantics, Norton, or PC Cillin from Trend Micro. You can search for that virus name, and most of those virus sites, the anti-virus sites, will have a software patch, that you can put on your computer, to eliminate that particular virus. If you're not sure what the virus is, and you need to scan your computer too, then the best thing to do, is go to a site like Semantic, who has a free Norton Internet Security Sweep, that will sweep your computer, and scan, and try to remove viruses, or Trend Micro's House Call.TrendMicro.com. That's an online service that allows you to scan your computer for free, and if it picks up the virus, it will try to clean or delete it for you. If the virus isn't deletable or isn't cleanable, then it's a very serious problem, and should be taken somewhere immediately, but for most viruses, this will allow you to get online, and scan your computer, and remove those viruses for free.
