Go to Microsoft website and type in windows defender download defender and then run it once it finds the virus delete them then run defender once a week, also clear history delete cookies and run reg-edit and look for any keys that has the word that is associated with your virus and get rid of the keys on the computer. If yo don't know how to back up the registry keys don't do this.

I need to re install my ascentive performance center

StopBadware.org released a badware alert about PC SpeedScan Pro today:
We find that PC SpeedScan Pro is badware because it does not disclose the fact that it installs additional "Performance Center" software and fails to remove this software when PC SpeedScan Pro is uninstalled, and because it repeatedly displays notifications that exaggerate the performance impact of various ‘errors’ found on users’ computers, in order to induce users to purchase the full version of the software.
The software was distributed via a website called finallyfast.com.
We attempted to contact the software publisher, Ascentive, via e-mail, but we did not receive a response.
We currently recommend that users do not install PC SpeedScan Pro, unless users are comfortable with the behaviors we have identified or until the application is updated to be consistent with the recommendations made in this alert.

I had been hearing a lot of good things about the Ascentive Software release of PC SpeedScan Pro. It claims to get those gigabytes of data you have accumulated straightened out and get your computer running like new again. PC SpeedScan claims to fix registry errors that can make your computer slow while it sorts through the errors as you are accessing your programs and files. Apparently it does not work too well. See our recommended computer optimization programs here.
After hearing some of the complaints about the Ascentive software, you may want to stick with computer optimization programs that have stood the test of time. Here are some good reviews on SpeedUpMyPC 2009, TuneUp Utilities 2008, and Optimize 2.0 - definitely worth a look!

I would personally recommend ncleaner. It has been my hands-down champion for months now.

Trust me Albert, stay away from the ascentive con-artist program. ncleaner will clean up your machine, and I also recommend you scan with Spybot, as Ascentive might have dumped some cookies on yr machine.

Good Luck and Season's Greetings!

I keep getting a security alert that says I have 4 virus

That security alert is most likely one of the false positives that are running around the internet.
They tell you that you have a virus and then want you to pay them to get rid of it where in actual fact the only virus you have is them.
Try downloading, installing and running "malwarebytes" I have used this application many times to rid machines of the nonsense you are seeing.
