Every time I turn on my computer my anti virus software informs me that it detected and removed a virus but its always the same one. I am required to restart my computer each time to finish and I would like to know how I can remove this virus completely so that it doesn't have to be neutralized evert time I start my computer?

Note the name of the virus the next time your antivirus removes it. Then, visit your antivirus vendor's web site. Their virus database in the support area should have a technical writeup describing the virus and manual removal instructions. A removal tool may even be available for specific viruses.

Make a search on Google for the exact name of the virus in your PC,most likely somebody has posted the registries used by the file,and you could find steps to manually remove it.
