ALL anti-virus programs have a method of removing a virus before they
are installed. Check the documents and instructions that come with
the program. Many will automatically check for a virus as the FIRST
STEP of the installation. Others will have instructions that tell
you if you have a virus NOW, then do...... (whatever it says.)
