Install the latest updates from Microsoft Update :
Note A computer virus may prevent you from accessing the Microsoft Update website to install the latest updates. We recommend that you set the Automatic Updates service to run automatically so that a computer is not missing any important updates.
Use the free Microsoft Safety Scanner
Microsoft offers a free online tool that scans and helps remove potential threats from your computer. To perform the scan, go to the Microsoft Safety Scanner website and download and run.

Use the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool helps remove specific, prevalent malicious software from computers that are running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows XP
Manually remove the rogue security software

How to protect your computer against malware?
There are actions that you can take to help protect your computer against malware.

1. Turn on the firewall
2. Keep your computer up to date
3. Install Microsoft Security Essentials and keep it up to date
4. Don’t be tricked into downloading malware

Here are some tips that can help protect you from downloading software that you don't want:
Only download programs from websites that you trust. If you're not sure whether to trust a program that you want to download, enter the name of the program into your favorite search engine to see whether anyone else has reported that it contains spyware.
Read all security warnings, license agreements, and privacy statements that are associated with any software that you download.
Never click "Agree" or "OK" to close a window that you suspect might be spyware. Instead, click the red "x" in the corner of the window or press Alt + F4 on your keyboard to close a window.
Be wary of popular "free" music and movie file-sharing programs, and make sure that you understand all the software packaged with those programs.
Use a standard user account instead of an administrator account. For more information, go to the Why use a standard account instead of an administrator account website.

What is rogue security software?

What is rogue security software?

A rogue security software program tries to make you think that your computer is infected by a virus and usually prompts you to download or buy a product that removes the virus. The names of these products frequently contain words like Antivirus, Shield, Security, Protection, or Fixer. This makes them sound legitimate. They frequently run right after you download them, or the next time that your computer starts. Rogue security software can prevent applications, such as Internet Explorer, from opening. Rogue security software might also display legitimate and important Windows files as infections. Typical error messages or pop-up messages might contain the following phrases:
Warning!
Your computer is infected!
This computer is infected by spyware and adware.
Note If you receive a message in a popup dialog box that resembles this warning, press ALT + F4 on your keyboard to close the dialog box. Do not click anything inside the dialog box. If a warning, such as the one here, keeps appearing when you try to close the dialog box, it’s a good indication that the message is malicious.

What is a trojan horse?

What is a trojan horse?
A trojan horse is a malicious software program that hides inside other programs. It enters a computer hidden inside a legitimate program, such as a screen saver. Then it puts code into the operating system that enables a hacker to access the infected computer. Trojan horses do not usually spread by themselves. They are spread by viruses, worms, or downloaded software.

What is a worm?

What is a worm?
A worm is computer code that spreads without user interaction. Most worms begin as email attachments that infect a computer when they're opened. The worm scans the infected computer for files, such as address books or temporary webpages, that contain email addresses. The worm uses the addresses to send infected email messages, and frequently mimics (or spoofs) the "From" addresses in later email messages so that those infected messages seem to be from someone you know. Worms then spread automatically through email messages, networks, or operating system vulnerabilities, frequently overwhelming those systems before the cause is known. Worms aren't always destructive to computers, but they usually cause computer and network performance and stability problems.

What is a computer virus?

What is a computer virus?
A computer virus is a small software program that spreads from one computer to another and interferes with computer operation. A computer virus might corrupt or delete data on a computer, use an email program to spread the virus to other computers, or even delete everything on the hard disk. Computer viruses are frequently spread by attachments in email messages or by instant messaging messages. Therefore, you must never open an email attachment unless you know who sent the message or you are expecting the email attachment. Viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files. Computer viruses also spread through downloads on the Internet. They can be hidden in pirated software or in other files or programs that you might download.

Top most common computer problems ...

• Computer Virus/Spywares/ Malwares /Adwares:     This problem includes viruses, spyware, adware, trojan horses, worms, rootkits and any other piece of software designed to harm you or your computer without your consent. Removing a computer virus or spyware can be difficult without the help of malicious software removal tools. Some computer viruses and other unwanted software reinstall themselves after the viruses and spyware are detected and removed. Fortunately, by updating the computer and by using malicious software removal tools, We can help permanently remove unwanted software.

• Slow Computer: This is another top most problem.Computers are like new homes or apartments; if we don't make good use of our space and resources they get filled with clutter as time goes by. If your computer is slower than normal, we can often fix the problem simply by cleaning the hard disk of unwanted files. We can also install a firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware tools, and schedule regular registry scans. External hard drives are great storage solutions for overtaxed CPU’s, and will help our computer run faster. We can use simple tuneup utilities and general preventive and regular maintenance as we do for all other problems to make our computer faster.

• Internet or Network Connectivity Issues: One day It gets connected but the next day its doesnot connect. Nothing has changed and we can't figure out easily too what to do. It may be internal and external problem for this also we have to keep our system uptodate and smooth so that we could figure out the problem easily.
• Dust and Cigarette Smoke: Computers generate static electrical charges that attract dust and cigarette smoke when present in the environment. We can use blower regularly as  a  general preventive and regular maintenance to make our computer faster.
• Hard Drive Failure: If we start hearing loud sounds that we were not hearing before, be scared because those sounds could be coming from our hard drive. 
• Dead Power Supply: When we press the power button and our computer gives no sign of life, and all the lights are absent, then the most likely cause is a power supply failure.
• Missing CD / DVD Drive or I/O Devices: If your CD/DVD drive disappeared, is not recognized by other applications, or just won't play or access your CDs or DVDs, we  are not alone everybody gets this type of problems.
• The Computer Won’t Start: A computer that suddenly shuts off or has difficulty starting up could have a failing power supply. Check that the computer is plugged into the power point properly and, if that doesn’t work, test the power point with another working device to confirm whether or not there is adequate power.
• The Screen is Blank: If the computer is on but the screen is blank, there may be an issue with the connection between the computer and the screen. First, check to see if the monitor is plugged into a power point and that the connection between the monitor and computer hard drive is secure. If the problem is on a laptop, then you may need to get a professional to fix it as some of the internal wires may be worn.
• Abnormally Functioning Operating System or Software:- If the operating system or other software is either unresponsive or is acting up, then try restarting your computer and run a virus scan. To avoid having this happen, install reliable anti-virus software.
• Windows Won’t Boot: If we are having troubles booting Windows, then we may have to reinstall it with the Windows recovery disk. Always remember dont format directly first try torepair, if not restore if then only not working just recover it with recovery CD if you have if then also it has not solved 
• The Screen is Frozen:- When our computer freezes, we may have no other option than to reboot and risk losing any unsaved work. Freezes can be a sign of insufficient ram, registry conflicts, corrupt or missing files, or spyware. First try to open task manager to kill or end that application but if this will not work, press and hold the power button until the computer turns off, then restart it and get to work cleaning up the system so that it doesn’t freeze again.
•  Slow Internet:To improve our Internet browser performance, we need to clear cookies and Internet temporary files frequently. In the Windows search bar, type ‘%temp%’ and hit enter to open the temporary files folder.
• Overheating:-If a computer case lacks a sufficient cooling system, then the computer’s components may start to generate excess heat during operation. To avoid our computer burning itself out, turn it off and let it rest if it’s getting hot. Additionally, we can check the fan to make sure it’s working properly.
• Dropped Internet Connections:- Dropped Internet connections can be very frustrating. Often the problem is simple and may be caused by a bad cable or phone line(in Adsl), which is easy to fix. More serious problems include viruses, a bad network card or modem, or a problem with the driver.
