My computer starts normally but after some time, programs that I intend to
open, don't open up and even the internet is not working properly. I have an
ADSL sytem and it's not suppose to be slow. I think that I have a virus and
altough one of the solutions is to format my computer, I want to know another
way of how to locate and eliminate a virus. I know too that theres the
solution of the system restore but the only maximum date that I can restore
up to is the 1st November and till that date my computer had begun to behave
in this manner too. I have a "Windows XP professional" and I want you to tell
me how can I locate and eliminate a virus that is present in my computer. if
you are going to contact me by email, my email is; (e-mail address removed)

Make certain your antivirus software is completely up to date and do a
full virus scan of your hard drive. If you need an antivirus program
try the free version of AVG from www.grisoft.com To help with your
current problems you can also do a free online virus scan at

Another possibility is advertising spyware. See MVP Jim Eshelman's
Spyware Quick Fix page at http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm and
follow the instructions there.

If the problems persist after doing these items post a response back
here and we will proceed further.

Good luck
