I've run Kaspersky and found that my computer is infected, but I cant find a button or something to press that remove the viruses...or does it do it automatically?

Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW')

UPDATE and FULL SCAN
Post the log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds
reboot
Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log):idea:0 -
I suggest you use an antivirus scanner, rather than a malware scanner.
Perhaps use ESET's free online scanner? http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/Everybody is equal; However some are more equal than others.0 -
Ive tried twice this morning with Kapersky and my laptop shuts down after an hour through the scan on both occasions. Should I give up and do something else instead0
-
Try the link I gave you, and check up on your computer every 10 minutes or so, until it's completed the scan.
What's causing the shutdowns, any ideas? Does the laptop feel hot at all?Everybody is equal; However some are more equal than others.0 -
id suggest you run post 3 (But run a QUICK scan to begin with):idea:0

See post 4, completely ignoring the copied and pasted generic response in post 3!↲Kaspersky is an antivirus scanner, which alerted you of the infection/s, not a malware scanner - I think alienrik was drunk while posting, lol.Everybody is equal; However some are more equal than others.0

Not at all. Malwarebytes sometimes finds infections that kasperskys misses (And very nasty trojans, just because its CALLED 'malware'bytes doesnt mean it only has malware in its definition files). And I said to run it as they tried Kaspersky online TWICE and failed which looks to me like the computers infected (As an infection WAS originally found and now it wont even scan properly):idea:0
