I need to clean my computer, is there an easy way to do it? I think that too many Pfishing sites have my email address and I would like to get them off of my computer. Also, I would like to get rid of any spyware or virus’s. Thanks. Paula Swauger

If you are receiving phishing or spam e-mails and you are unsure of who sent them to you, I wouldn’t suggest that you open them, but instead mark them as spam.
If your computer is infected with computer viruses or other malicious files or programs, I would suggest that you run both an antivirus scan, as well as an antispyware scan.
If you need a free antivirus program, I would recommend that you try using Microsoft Security Essentials, which can be downloaded from the link below.

If you need a free antispyware program, perhaps you should try using MalwareBytes, which can be downloaded from the link below.

Good luck and I hope I helped you!
microsoft.comThere is no program to get your email address off of phishing sites. You can set your spam filter to stop them.
For getting rid of spyware try Malwaebytes.
For viruses get Microsoft Security Essentials.

You can always look for software that tends to your problem, but I usually use the spam button on my email to send those messages to the spam folder. If you keep getting emails, consider getting a new email address or finding anti-virus all in one software that takes care of all you problems in one neat bundle. You might have to pay for the software, although there are some that are free. My suggestion to you is to search the web for the best freeware virus/spyware remover. Here are some sites to get you started:

Try ScanSpyware 2010 Edition…. It really works for in my case.

I think you’ll need to install a spyware remover to clean your pc. Make sure you don’t reveal your email address on public forums to avoid from these spam mails next time though.
