You can find a Trojan by the name of win32 adware, which can be a very problematic virus, and hard to eradicate. Chances are you will get some type of virus on your computer if you surf the internet. Win32 is a very annoying one

Win32 usually works mainly by going through java. Java doesn't cause it so does worry but it will usually gain access through it. The virus normally gets on your computer claiming to be a program for helping your computer. It will then stick to other files to hurt your computer.

Just like a human virus you will see the symptoms of the virus such as a few pop-ups then it will become more serious. The adverts may be trying to get you to purchase a product or they may just be to infect your computer even more.

When you start up your computer you may even see DLL files that popup with strange names.

If you want to remedy this virus you will need to have a good antivirus protection. One of the best ones which you can only get online is AVG. They have a free version so you can use this and upgrade later. You may also want to consider Norton, who also has good protection.

When using antivirus it may be necessary to restart your computer to get it to work properly in some cases.
