A computer virus is a nasty little program that can replicate itself and infect your computer without you ever knowing it was there.

How To Remove A Computer Virus In Minutes

3. Disconnect from the internet. Reboot your PC and press F8 to go into safe mode. Launch your antivirus program and use it to remove the virus.
