So I downloaded a virus program ... i let it run for about 5 seconds and I have 3 viruses and then it closes itself. No matter what I do it just closes before the scan can go through my computer. What should I do? It says I have a virus called Ronoper or some crap. Bunch of IRC viruses too. I hate computers!

Hhhhmmmm. Well if i were you i'd use norton antivirus since i find it easy to use. However another good program which is really really good for getting our irc viruses/trojoans would be a program called: " The Cleaner" which can be found at:

Just let it run on your computer and everything SHOULD work ok!

Normally if the virus can impede the work of a virus checker Norton has a download to fix it on their website. If you know the names you should be able to get rid of them by doing a search for the fix. Otherwise, you are going to have to get an antivirus CD and change your startup to boot from CD, so it can check for viruses before it enters windows.

Or you can be all high-class and smart about it and use vega's method ;)

Where can I find this download? I don't even know what to search for. I have 3 viruses in like 2 seconds of checking so obviously I have a bunch. I need my virus scan to work. You said the virus is stopping it from working. Where can I find something to stop that? I wouldn't even know where to start.

Thanks to everyone btw.

I found it and it is SO complicated. Plus I don't have Norton ...

It tells you how to remove it and I don't understand it one bit. I honestly hate computers.

Not only that ... I have probably like 25 more bullshit viruses.

Somebody just come to my house and fix this.
