when ur computer boots up depending on OS type, hold f8 for win98 or f5 for xp, boot in safe mode and run a virus detection program that will automatically find and remove virus...that's bout the easiest way!have fun!
Unless it has really taken over your computer completely, and has wiped out your antivirus program. Then all you can do is take it to a computer repair store like Miracle Computers and have them either remove the virus/worm and repair your system, OR IF POSSIBLE, have them recover the data you want, wipe the hard drive clean, and reinstall the OS completely.

Computer viruses are programs created by humans and have a series of 1's and 0's to make up instruction sets. After these instructions enter the computer, they co-opt computer functions to perform duties the virus wants done. So, the biggest difference is that the human virus instruction set is encoded in biological molecules of RNA or DNA, and the computer virus instruction set is encoded in 1's and 0's that the computer sees as a program to run.
