My computer has no anti-virus program. The McAfee has expired. I need to install a new progam, but I can't do it from the internet because it killed my connection. I don't see my c:/ drive on the screen, but when i go to the start menu, I can find it and click explore to see it. Would i be able to buy a disc to remove the virus, since i can't do it through the internet?

Boot up your computer in safe mode.
If this does not work you will have to do a system restore.
What is it?
Malware – short for malicious software, it is used to cause damage to a single computer, server, or computer network. Computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, and other malicious and unwanted software are all types of malware that can infect your computer. But it is worth noting that very few malware instances are actual viruses (less than 20%).

What to do about it?
A virus scanner is the most common tool for prevention. These scanners have “real-time protection” enabled; which scans the program before it runs and if the program has malicious code than it is stopped before the chance of execution. Common sense is another big factor in determining whether or not malware gets into your computer. If an executable computer program is attached to your e-mail and you are unsure of the source, then it should be deleted immediately. Do not download any applications or executable files from unknown sources, and be careful when trading files with other users.

What about some free protection?
***NOTE*** Let it be known that you must have only one virus protection / firewall working on your computer or serious conflicts will occur! You MUST un-install your current virus protection suite before continuing installing another. “But what if my old one is already expired?” It does not matter, divorce it anyway…

Anti-Virus…
I would go with Avira. It has the best ratings out of all the “free AV protection”, and even some of the paid for ones.
Here is the link for that:

Adware and Spyware…
This program only offers on demand scan I would recommend it. (Use at least one AS/A)

Stopping it before it comes…

Firewall…

Rootkit…
I would use:
Sysinternals RootkitRevealer, Panda Anti Rootkit and BlackLight

You want to make sure that all you programs are constantly updated and patched to prevent attackers from entering through software weaknesses.
