I don't have an antivirus, only *****s gets viruses.
MS Security Essentials works fine, or just get superantispyware or Malabytes and run a scan every week or 2. Otherwise, install Ubuntu and boot from that, it can't get viruses

Superantispyware didn't work either. Just added to the pop ups if anything. Keeps prompting me to scan even though I scanned a minute ago.
Ye'll have to do it the hard way then. Track down suspicious processes in the task manager (google their names). Make a list of the processes you have identified as bad guys.
