Viruses, Trojans, Worms.. You Name It

One thing that will help with viruses is to run your scan in safe mode to get into safe mode just after your turn on your computer start pressing the f8 key a bunch a little menu should come up that lets you get into safe mode. Run your scan here and you should see improved virus removal.

My favorite programs are as follows

Antivirus - Mirosoft Security Essentials, AVG Free Edition, AVAST Free Edition, Avira Free Edition

Spyware - Spybot Search and Destroy, Super Anti-Spyware Free Edition, Ad-Aware Free

Malware - Malwarebytes

Granted these days the lines are becoming blurred as each piece of software starts to also take care of problems from the other categories now. PM me if you need additional help.
 
USC has had some big problems, mainly with the middle problem... but could not find a reasonable way to get rid of them.

Seriously though, you might also try SuperAntiSpyware, and again... Spybot Search and Destroy.

Exactly, however I'm really tricky and recommend antivirus software in a thread I didn't create. It helps me keep a low profile.
 
I think Window Security Essentials is better than anticipated. I have teenagers and preteens on the computer and internet a lot. As a result I pick up lots of these kinds of things since they just don't know what to click on and what not to. A few years ago I was using SpyWare Doctor plus Antivirus, with which I was quite impresses, but since they didn't keep up with the virus developers and other antivirus software I dropped them and bounced around some free ones along with HijackThis and Malwarebytes. I got tired of the manual processes and when I upgraded to Win 7 I gave Security Essentials a try. It has performed very well, surprisingly well. Well enough that I am running some of the manual stuff on a monthly basis at most (it also helps that I have my computer set to block certain sites and have trained my kids better on what can be dangerous). Anyway, I recommend it.

Totally agreed. I'm almost ashamed at how impressed I am with a free Microsoft product.
