Also, I recommend Avast.
If you use dual-boot Ubuntu to combat menace, use the linux version.

Will help your live SOOO much. Really.
You could go back to your old antivirus in windows, but dual-boot to ubuntu once for a while, and scan.

Im going to need a bit of help although.
After i burn it, do i just pop it in? I dont know exactly what to do to get rid of it.

Pop it in, yeah.
And I recommend you to install it, along with your windows (that's why I said dual-boot)

ask your brother?

1. Install Linux
2. Install Avast on Linux
3. Scan hard drive using Avast
4. If that fails, you're fucked

Did you see the graph making a difference between fully licensed computer programmers that compile Linux in their heads and your next door neighbor who is really good with a screwdriver?

It just says buddy. Period.

Whoa whoa whoa!

Licensed + Compiling Linux =

Error, error, does not compute. Divide by zero error. The universe will now shut down.

Well, joke aside, Yanlin is right.
