So I am pretty sure I have viruses and spyware on my computer because of endless pop ups, some of my applications randomly get deleted, and my computer has been slow. I downloaded the 90 day trial of mcafee and when it scanned my computer it did not detect anything. So what cam i do to remove the viruses without deleting my data?

    Update and use your own antivirus or download one of the antivirus tools below and along with the spyware doctor and update them and restart your computer in safe mode ( tap F-8) during startup and select safe mode, then scan with the antivirus and the spyware doctor while in safe mode, this should find it so you can remove it; Please note that you should only run one antivirus on your computer at one time,,

    You are infected with spyware if:
    * You see too much pop-up advertisements.
    * Your browser has toolbars that you haven’t installed.
    * Your homepage has changed (and you can’t change it back).
    * Other settings have changed without your permission.
    * Your computer is slow.
    To get rid of spyware and keep your computer clean you can use an antispyware or even more.
    You can download a antispyware software. There are 10 good anti-spywares.
    here is the reviews: http://ttreviews.info

    All are safe and can be trusted.

    Get a free virus program like McAfee off torrents and what it does is fix,clean,and delete bad stuff off the registry folder. So no losing files, Major recovery or reboots, and no deleting stuff!
