Foremost install a virus protection software, then run a scan
• The program will identify files that have been infected by viruses that the software recognizes.
• It then offers to repair the file, and when it cannot do that, the option is to delete it.
• Since new viruses are getting created everyday, even your latest updated virus protection software might not be able to deal with the infection or even detect the virus.
• If the virus cannot be destroyed then it may be necessary to reformat your hard drive, destroying all the data in it.
• You then need to reinstall all of the software that you have been using. (So make sure you retain the CDs of the software programs as well as back up of all-important folders/files.)
Before re-installing software do ensure that you install the virus protection software first on the empty hard drive.
