I know one time i restarted the computer and then when it booted back up…there was this blue screen and it was searching for viruses and i deleted some.

But it want do it anymore when i restart or turn off and turn on my comp again

How do you run scans for viruses???

thx in advance

I have downloaded the virus protection on my computer and when it restarts, it still says that I have one or more items that need attention.

I use McAfee virus protection and i think its working but i am not sure. I need to no because i am downloading a site like limewire and i want to know my comp. wont get a virus.

I have Verizon as my ISP and have the Verizon Security Suite as my virus protection for my desktop computer. I just bought a laptop and have connected it to the internet through a Belkin N wireless router. Do I need seperate virus protection on the laptop itself? Thanks!

to download a virus protection it saids to first close applications. what does that mean?
