I’m doing a McAffee Virus Scan,

and i’m getting a lot of Trojans like Downloader- BEW and Potentially Unwanted Programs that I never knew I had…

After the scan is over, should I delete all of them?

Yes delete all of them.
If your PC seems like its slowing down or having a hard time surfing the web or just doesn’t seem right.
You should go to http://download.com and get these programs. AD-Aware, Spybot search and destroy, CCleaner and and if you dont have an Antivirus program you can use Avast or AVG, and for your firewall a good program is Zone Alarm. Install these programs and run them regulary. This will keep your system clean and running properly. These programs are free and Download.com is a part of CNET (the site that your posting on right now). Hope this helps :-)
