I Put my new windows 7 computer on the Internet for three days and I wound up with six assorted viruses.

I went to Fry's and saw the fix me stick. $60.

It is a USB thumb drive with an operating system on it (probably Linux) and virus cleaning soft ware. It took 3 hours to scan the 1 TB hard drive but it worked like a charm.

The Norton anti virus software won't always load because some viruses prevent that. The Norton software was a big, mostly empty box, with a card with a code printed on it rattlingly around inside the box.  Your supposed to down load the software from the Norton web site. Well you can see the problem there with that.

Last time I will put my windows computer on the Internet.

BTW If Norton knows how to prevent viruses how come Microsoft does not?
