When a virus is discovered on a computer what should be done?

Remove it by using an Anti-Virus computer program. You need to make sure the Anti-Virus program you are using is can be updated (most are able to do that with a subscription that is yearly) and you also need a Spyware program since spyware will kill your computer too. I recommend McAfee for a good Anti-Virus program or Norton Anti-Virus and for Spyware I recommend Webroot.
