How to get rid of Virus on Computer

note: will update soon with fotd! =P

aaaaaaah so I (or rather my computer) just got infected with a virus. Just wanted to share some links that might help everyone out.

My story:

Every 5 minutes I get a pop up saying "Windows Security Alert" Then in the Body it says "Warning Potential Spyware Operation! Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and internet files. Run full scan now to prevent any unauthorized access to your files! Click YES to download spyware remover"

Free virus scan:

rogue remover (this helped rid me of this annoying "windows alert" that popped up every 5 second saying i needed to install some software, don't click yes!)

hope this helps anyone who had this problem! =P
