The best way - is to start Windows in 'safe mode'. If you start in safe mode, Windows ONLY starts the programs essential to getting the computer started. Once you have your windows screen, run a good anti-virus program. The program will either delete the malicious software, or isolate it so it cannot cause problems with other software and files.

Once the program has finished - restart in 'normal' mode.

There are several ways to remove virus on your computer.
1. Antivirus and Internet Security Software Suits. This is the best way to remove a virus in a computer. There are lots of antivirus and internet security software suits you can buy online. Each of them can give you protection against viruses. You can also search Microsoft website and find antivirus and internet security providers. If you cannot afford to buy an antivirus software, there are also free security software you can download online.


2. Manual Cleaning. For Windows 7 computer power users, manual cleaning of basic viruses is easy. But for non-power users, this can be the hardest method of cleaning a virus from a computer. But if you know how a certain virus works, you may be able to clean it without antivirus the next time you encounter it.


3. Formatting Drives. If the Antivirus can't delete a virus in your PC, then Formatting can be your final option. Formatting drive can delete all data in a specific drive (partition or not) and revert it to it's basic state. Remember, formatting will delete all files and folders.


4. Computer Technicians and Security Experts. If you cannot afford to lose any file in your drive, contact a computer technician or a security expert. They can remove all harmful virus and programs present in your computer. If there are no computer technicians or security experts in your location, you can visit SevenForums for assistance.

Depending on the kind of virus, they are all removed in a different way. A antivirus software is a good choice, but a clean install of your Windows 7 is a easy, free and quick solution. Remember backup!
