    IF you can identify the malware/virus you can usually find a dedicated removal tool from symantec or another anti virus company. Also, try running anti vir from avira. Adaware is also a good piece of software.

    Winrar isn't a virus. There is a good chance you downloaded Winrar from a bogus server, though.

    If you get a pop-up saying to download blah blah to clean a virus, close the window. It is false and 99.9999% chance that if you click something in that window, you will get a virus.

    Never use IE under any circumstances unless it is impossible to avoid. Copy-pasta the URL's if you must.

    Many of the so called cracks for winrar are or contain viruses as it goes.
