I have had a couple of e-mails overnight asking about the best way to get rid of a virus (computer, I guess, I’m no doctor). The best advice I can give is to run your adware / spyware / virus programs in “safe mode”. Safe mode isolates your computer from the web and shuts down certain applications, making bugs easier to spot.

Restart your computer, and just before it relaunches, hit F8 (tap, tap,tap). The screen will be black & white, use the arrow keys to move up to safe mode and hit enter. Run your programs from here and hopefully all bugs will be gone, if not hit your computer with something heavy and go for coffee.
