For Computer Viruses:

There are many free anti virus programs. You can download one of them and install in your PC. After that, you should update regularly and scan your PC to be sure you are not infected with something new. AVG and Avast are better products for computer virus protection. But use only one of them.

For human viruses:

The current 'proven' methods for killing viruses are with low power purple laser light or high UV light. In the meantime, to protect yourself in public during the pandemic of H1N1/09 or around someone who has an infectious virus, you can wear face masks rated at N100 or P100. However, these masks must be properly fitted to work. They are not recommended for children or men with beards due to the problems with fitting them to prevent air leaks.

Remember to wash your hands like you were paranoid about it and DON'T rub your eyes, nose, or mouth in public - this is a viral transfer behavior which could get you sick, even if you're wearing the mask. Viruses are 100 times smaller than bacteria and are more difficult to kill. See related questions below for more information on prevention.

For outside the body, you can destroy viruses with heat of 167-212°F (75-100°C), normal cooking temperatures. In addition, several chemical germicides, including chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, detergents (soap), iodophors (iodine-based antiseptics), and alcohols are effective against human influenza viruses if used in proper concentration for a sufficient length of time.
