       Get rid of actively running viruses

       Lets say you have some simple active running virus on your
       computer.First thing you should do is not go to safe mode yet,
       even if you were suggested to by a virus expert.First you want
       to open your task manager(if your a windows vista user click
       show processes from all users; requires admin password) and then
       click the process tab.You will see a table with all of your
       processes, and titles (Image Name, UserName, CPU, Memory,
       Description)
       You want to make the width of your task manger wider as well as
       the description.Get a piece of paper and jot down all the names
       of the processes and the description.Cross out the ones that you
       officially know you downloaded on your computer and its
       trusted.For an example Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows
       Defender, Windows Live, or even Internet Explorer.If there isn't
       a description or the name looks weird, write down suspicious
       right next to it on your list.
       Now right click on all of the suspicious processes and click
       "Open FIle Location"
       Now you know where the file is at.Now you need to know if its an
       actual virus or some file that microsoft wrote.Now right click
       on the file and click "Properties." This is where the
       identification goes in, if theres a digital signature, Google
       the name of the name of signer.
       But what if there isn't a digital signature?Just go to details
       tab.Its the Copyright part, if there isn't a copyright, look at
       the date modified.MOST LIKELY its the date you downloaded it.
       Here is the verifying part.Delete the process.........
       If the sypmtoms of a virus is gone (popups, adverts, computer
       slowing down) its most  likely it.Remember the file location and
       then go to safe mode.
       Now download MBAM (
  HTML http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php)
       and
       update it then do a full scan.
