   Avast is pretty good, also Spybot is pretty good too at cleaning out all the junk.

   AVG home edition from grisoft.com

   But I prefer Antivir.
   I also use spybot and avg antispyware.
   And for identifying crap entries in system registry, hijackthis.
   And for cleaning up particularly nasty infections, all of the above plus combofix, vundofix, ATF cleaner, killbox, smitfraudfix, avenger, etc.

   A great site for information like this is http://www.computing.net . They have many forums, including a security forum.

   I use adaware but it’s not catching a nasty virus I have on it now. What a pain !!!

   *** I haven’t had any luck with spybot either at trying to catch it. Nothing is taking my virus off.

   =(

   ETA: I did try avast.com that “offmeds” suggested to me in an email, but again, no luck at catching the frigging thing.
   Thank you again so much though for trying. It keeps attaching itself to my IE, pop ups, downloads anti-virus programs automatically (LOL). Just a nightmare. I have to control+delete+kill IE just to get it to stop temporarily. Ugh!
