I love how they think hackers would wait two weeks even after they had broken the news.

If you get the fake police/fbi notification virus then you aren't getting rid by just turning it off and on, this is one of the worst viruses floating around to get rid off even if you know what your doing, the only recent virus known to run even on safe mode so yeah turning your comp on and off aint getting rid.

I think you just need to make sure you have an antivirus.

If you actually get a legitimate virus (though I still stand by it being almost impossible unless you're reckless!), I personally wouldn't trust any programs or deletion tutorials to clean up. Best bet is to have your personal files (documents, pictures, movie files... personal non-executables basically) on a separate or external hard drive, and keep a clean fresh OS image set up with drivers and your "every day" programs on a DVD (or USB flash drive) in the back of a drawer. If you genuinely do get a "proper" virus, I personally wouldn't be using the computer until it's had the OS drive wiped and restored to the fresh backup.

I'd recommend doing that every year or so anyway, really. Most effective way to remove all junk data and get back that uncluttered, out-of-the-box feeling.
