ok my computer got a virus from rune scape about a month ago, but i've been sneeking on runescape for a couple times and my computer has another virus!!! i wanted to know if its possible to tell were a virus came from! please respond

 
If you run a virus scan with McAfee Security Center, it should tell you which files are infected. Simply just delete these files, and you should be good. I get viruses from Limewire occasionally. :D

is it free

 
but can someone tell exactly were it came from? if someone knew that i was on runescape i'm in HUGE trouble!!!

 
You have to be a Subscriber to some type of Comcast Internet Service for McAfee I believe. I never got a virus from Limewire, since McAfee blocked it and I couldn't view the File I downloaded.

Get Nortion AntiVirus, that works really good :3

To avoid people finding out what you're doing online, be sure to delete all internet files including history, cookies, temporary internet files, form data, and any passwords. If you have internet explorer, go to tools, internet options, delete, and delete all. Yeah, Meowbark is right. Just run a virus scan occassionally and delete affected files. You should be good to go. :D

i did delete the cookies but the computer still has a virus :D

 
Do you have a virus scan program? If so, there should be a desktop shortcut. Double click it. There should be a scan option. Click it, and it may take awhile to fully scan all your computer. Afterwards, it'll tell you what files are affected and give you options. The safest thing to do is delete them.

 
I use AVG. It's fast, realiable and pretty decent. It also works great on any older PC also. Scanning is fast. AVG is free.

There is also Panda Anti Virus and Avast! Also. Norton and Mc Afee alot of times come preinstalled in PCs you buy. AVG, Panda and Avast! are free. Also, you may want to try to find two Anti Spyware/Adaware progams called Spybot and Ad-aware.

 
I use AVG and Ad Aware SE Personal. I used to have nortons but it made my computer slower than it already is.

I hardly get Viruses though
