How do you remove if your Windows systems file is infected with virus?
Can you delete them without jeopardizing your system?

Please provide more details about your system.  Also, what type of virus do you have.  Can you system boot in Windows normally?

Cleaning or removing virus or spyware programs are specific to each one.  Like everyone is saying, we need to know the particular of the viruses/spywares before we could assist you further.

I also have another question in relation to virus, a colleague of mine has a laptop (stand-alone) with Vista OS installed.  He seems to be getting a ‘Windows home security virus’ that pops up every 10 mins asking him to register and purchase, how does he remove this, his current anti-virus is not working.

Many thanks.
Please ask a separate question regarding "Windows Home Security" fraudware.
