    First don't click links on strange sites.

    2 use some sort of virus scan and scan your comp.
    Also try ad-aware and spybot.
    And just to be safe look for a CWS remover.

    Go to download.com and look for some free downloads.
    Ker click... Choom..

      Hmm.. does it post alerts that you might have such and such worm?

      I'd personally look those "worms" up on Google. If it's what I think it is, it's really scare-ware, tricking you into thinking you have a virus, but you really just really have this annoying little program and the only way you can get rid of it is to buy their software.

      You should be able to find some removal tools by searching Google.

      Also, I recommend anti-vir as your anti-virus solution, http://www.free-av.com

          RB, next time you do reformat...

          Wait. First, what OS are you reinstalling? Because it would make reinstalls go A *LOT* easier if you make your C: drive smaller.

          Try making your C: partition like 5-10GB or so, and make a D: partition which takes up the rest of your drive.

          Also, make sure to have the DVD burner and lots of blank DVD's (or something) ready for backing up your data.

              Alright: I am now convinced that you are having the problem I discussed before.

              Just search Google for the supposed worm/virus(es) that you have, you'll get a removal tool for it.

              PS: I really think someone really should just report these bots to the FBI or something. :|

                Try this site:

                www.pcpitstop.com


                It'll scan your computer and idenify unwanted files; ect. I've tried it before, and it works well. Look though the site to see if it's something you'll be interested in using before downloading anything, of course. :)

                Have any one else tried this site? what do you think of it?
