    If you hit control+alt+delete, you can check out a list of processes that are running on your computer.

    Some viruses are smart and will disable your antivirus software so you can't detect or remove them as easily. If you know the name of the executable file that the virus is hiding out in and it's currently running on your computer, you need to shut that bad boy down before you'll be able to commence removal.

    Select the process from the list and hit "end process". Open up your registry editor (go to the start menu > run > and type in "regedit" without the quotation marks). You'll see what looks like a Windows Explorer directory tree. Open up HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Run and delete any entries under that particular category that match the .exe filename of the process which the virus is attached to. DO NOT ERASE ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T CONTAIN THE .EXE NAME OF THE VIRUS FILE. This will stop the virus from starting again when Windows reboots. Once you've stopped the process and removed the registry entry you can either run a virus scan and let your AV software zap the buggies or you can simply delete the executable file associated with the virus.

    • I got a question. I have this program called Gigaget on my computer and I want to take it off, I erased eveything of that program. But the thing is that it wont come off the computer itself, now everytime I want to download a program i cant because it pops up and starts flickering. Then I have to do the Alt, Control, Delete. Then end process, but then i try again and it just pops up again Please help me.

    • When you open up your control panel > add/remove programs, do you see this program in the list of installed programs? If so, click on it and choose "uninstall". IF not, then you may need a spyware cleaner to quarantine the remaining files (yes, your spyware cleaner will probably recognize a junk program like Gigaget as spyware).
