If you have a virus in you computer, can you transfer it to your phone through your desk top manager? on one of my computers I have a ad-ware bug that tries to make it so I can't boot up the computer. I have been trying to eliminate
it and so far so good. but I don't want to attach the phone until I know it's gone. what's your views on this?
Run a very good adware/malware/spyware application. Back up as much information as you possbily can. Then do a complete install of your OS. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. Since you don't know which file the virus is in, I wouldn't attempt at this time to transfer anything to your device.
You won't be able to infect your Storm with this pest, given it's a completely different architecture, but it is possible that the pest would put a copy of itself on your Storm if you connected it to your computer. That could lead to reinfecting your system once you connect your Storm again.
Use malware bytes on the pc should clean it right up....virus ain't gonna hurt a BB it runs a diff os than your pc.....
But it wont stop it from giving back to the pc. If you download a file that has the virus and pull it from your pc it would reattach it self once more. I say if u know what your doing then start of clean on PC and BB. Pc will run way better after a clean install any ways so why not do it.
I seriously doubt that any virus coded for a PC can affect any BB, at least not yet. I'd be more concerned with surfin on your BB and picking uop a BB virus from the net.

Why would you use a computer with a virus on it to update your Storm?Dont you think thats stupid.
first off, thanks for all the replies. yes it is the anti-virus 2009. I will try the malware bytes and I have run every other "anti" I have and did fix it I hope. it even tried to get in my laptop but I think I stopped it in it's tracks. I plan not to attach BB until there is a new update and I know I got the little bugger.

There is a good Anti-virus program for the Blackberry. It is from SMobile Systems (smobilesystems.com). It can scan your BB for any known BB viruses (there are a few at this time).
I don't think that the virus in your PC will infect your BB. BB viruses are quite specific and not compatible with the PC. The reverse is also true.
I agree with hudss (no we are not the same) that you shoudlstay away form IE and use Firefox.
I also agree with the comment that you should wipe your PC. When you do this, make sure that you re-format your hard disk or you will be wasting your time.

Okay, so what are they?? Where do we find out information on new BB viruses. It seems to me the only people that know about them is smobile. I think they will be coming at a more rapid pace now that Obama kept his bb, but I havent seen one yet. I have been working with BB for 4.5 years.
