I use PC Tools Anti-spyware with Virus scanner..available from pctools.com. It also come with a registry scanner. I like this better than the glitzy Norton product I had.

Cheers!

I have used Avira for almost 2 years now and still the best IMO, also still free for private use.:up:

AVAST also a 2yr vet. Used AVG before that was good also.

After cure; registry connections to operating program files, may be destroyed. Shortcuts not working. This depends on what virus attacks. Without registry back-up,your only choice is reformat/reinstall.
Now I use AVG. on one computer, & Avast on the other. AVG offers a free download working program. Before reformatting I downloaded entire "C"drive to external HD. so I could save that which was left. You may have to reformat from the operating sys.up,wipe entire "C"drive. I had an unbelievable goat.:damn:

I tried AVAST awhile ago and thought it was great..until it started picking off files that were legitimate....an old expression...you get what you pay for....as always...just MHO...:DL

COMODO does the same thing to me. Won't tell me what the infection is, just starts quarantining legit files.

hi,

Avira or AVG are excellent free virus scanners - i put them on friend's pcs when doing repairs for them and i've had no complaints.

I've found malwarebytes to be pretty nifty at finding real good hidden stuff :salute:

This is the best free proggy so far.

The best program bar none is still NOD32 though, but this requires a subscription.

Format C:

Get's rid of every virus known to man. :yep:

Personally use Avast, and Comodo Firewall Plus when on XP (doesn't work on Win7). Never any infections. :)
