Hi everyone! I have a problem. My subscription to Norton Antivirus ran out recently (which is fine by me because that stupid thing never even worked very well <_< ) and I have been DELUGED by bad viruses lately that have been sending out spam from my hotmail account.

I tried using the free version of BitDefender Virus Scan, as well, but although it claims to delete viruses, I always find 8-28 viruses everytime I use it. I'm not sure if it's actually deleting them or what.

Is there any good unpaid virus scan programs out there that I could use? If necessary, are there any good paid ones. Pleae, I'm desperate for help!

(I already use AdAware and Spybot, btw.)

Thanks,

Fred

Thank you! I'll try that one tonight.

Is there one that can remove the Trojan virus? That keeps popping up in my virus scans.

I recommend:

http://www.avast.com

The home version is free, you just need to register it (which is free) after 60 days of use.

Updates come out at least 2 times a week, and it can monitor your memory, hdd, emails (in and out), and the browser.

It stops trojans from downloading on your comp.

I adore AVG so that's one to check out as well.

Download it from here : http://www.grisoft.com/doc/71/lng/us/tpl/tpl01

Another good thing that will help with viruses and spyware is Zone Alarm. Download that here : http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/cata...lid=dbtopnav_za
