Angry Help

Somehow I got a virus on my computer. On the desktop, whenever you put the mouse over an icon, it moves away. If you know how to get rid of this or have any ideas or anything...I need help!! This thing is annoying!!

sOaD2, i definitely recommend you to install some antivirus package, like norton antivirus, if you're downloading files off fuckin internet... otherwise this gonna happen too often (bad experience )

Earlier I used copy SubSeven to the friends' office... It was funny to watch their reaction, when the CD driver did open, or the screen had spin 180°-ly...

Then they did suck me seriously in... Long story, and I surely wouldn't tell, because it was fuckin' embarassing.

Hey man go to www.downloads.com and then in the search field type in antivirus and then press "Search" and then stuff should come up and most of it's for free and you just have to download it and go through winzip and that's it. That's what I did for my antivirus. It should work, some don't but you just have to try them out! Good luck man. Hail!!!
