[tree_frog]

Ya lol i got friends and family on my comp all the time now and i dont know what they do.. but i know i have a virus on my computer... or worm but i need to know what would be the most high tech virus scanner today.. i have AVG right now but it is not finding them i am about to delete some things but i still have plenty of room

I think this will belong better in the Tech forum, seeing as how the tech people are more likely to see it there.

I use Avg and im Very happy with it
You can get it here AVG Free Advisor - Free antivirus and anti-spyware downloads

Also another cool site that you might like is PC Pitstop: Free PC Diagnostics, computer help and Tuneups It has loads of Tools and can Tell you quite about about your computer

Yea,

I also use AVG free and it works great. Probably the easiest to use free virus protection. Avast and AntiVir are other also good ones that are free to use.

although AVG isnt the best, there are better ones but u have to pay for them. But you can always try to download them for free using the p2p network bit torrent.

I don't think you allowed to talk of that here unless its in the realm of the leet :p

I think Silver's right, slashbomb.



But as far as computer "security" goes, PM me and I'll give you some pointers.

[slashbomb]

Oops, my bad, but yea, If u want to get rid of the virus, Jesus or Tap can help you out. As far as virus software, AVG Free is very good.

Also, it might not be just the Virus. Depending on where you got it, it if came from the internet, its probably your firewall.

the best thing for you to do is run Spybot and Adaware before any virus checker, as im not aware whether or not AVG will detect this sort of malware. both of those programs are free and easy to use as well if you dont already have them.

if it is something worse than a virus, say a trojan, then use hijackthis.

on a side note, anyone here know how to read the logs for highjackthis?

[priji]

AVG is the best. AVG never had any problems with viruses infecting my computer,nor anyone else who use AVG.

If AVG int working for you there is another freeware antivirus out there that does as well as avg if not a little better. It is called comodo Antivirus. All you do is register to their software. As for other things to scan with, you can use online scanners such as pest patrol for malware etc. and registry fix for messed up registries.

I use Grisoft AVG Free. It is powerful, updatable, and most of all free
