Every time I scan the same 6 viruses are detected. The scan says they were removed,but if I do another scan they show up again. Any suggestions?

Where are the viruses located, and have you verified they are viruses? If they keep coming back, however, they may be viruses that have an undetected monlitor component that reinstalls them if they are removed. You might try a scan while in Safe Mode (press F8 upon bootup until Safe Mode comes up). Sometimes viruses can't hide if you scan in Safe Mode. The ClamWin Antimalware page may also help--try one of the online scans referenced there. If that doesn't work, I suggest you download the free version of Malwarebytes' Antimalware (MBAM) and run a quick scan with it. In fact, you might try MBAM first of all.
