Clean up the junk from the viruses

  I would recommend to clean up and junk programs that came in with the viruses. The best program to use is a free uninstaller called revo. You can download this free off the internet. Just use google as the search tool and type in download revo uninstaller. Download it and save it to a folder you create. Then go and run the program. You will have a number of programs show up in the window. Click on the desired program and click uninstall from the toolbar at the top of the screen. There are choices as to the repressiveness of the uninstall. I generally use the advanced choice, but can choose moderate. It will locate the files in the system and you can select them. The next step is to uninstall them, this may take a few minutes. It may find more and you can choose to uninstall them as well. 
  The only drawback to the program is that it does not create a restore point. As a safety precaution I will use google and search for information on the selected item. Another idea is to go to programs uninstall in the control panel and find the program in the list. Look to see what date is on it. If it is an older date then it probably did not come in with the viruses. Once satisfied it came in with the viruses then you can uninstall it.
 There are occasions when you may have to uninstall the program from the start up program list. I have also had to go to the programs folder and there may be an uninstall choice there. If none of these work then use google and search on how to uninstall whatever the program is. Sometimes there are special uninstallers for a particular program to clean all the junk out from files and from the registry. If you have to go through the registry always export it to a file first in case you have to restore the registry. If you are not sure what to do with any of the above information seek out a good computer shop to take the computer to for a professional cleaning. I would also suggest to check out any reviews on the computer shop before taking it to them. It`s better to be safe then sorry.
