I think I have a virus, now what do I do?

Velocity Micro cannot assist with virus removal. We can however assist with the sure cure to any mal-ware infection, and that is to wipe the slate clean and begin again (format and reinstall).

You may wish to do web searches or consult with friends regarding recommendations and ratings for antivirus software.
