AVG works great.  I hear that Avast  works fine.

Not sure what file is corrupt and unreadable, but if it appears to be a system file, go to start, run, and type sfc /scannow to scan your system files and make sure they are all ok.

Answer 11

Free in the field of anti viral protection means c**p.

I'd recommend the two leaders of Antivirus software - Nod32 or Kaspersky.

Answer 12

I heard Norton's not that good. Try Shaw Secure if you want free. But I would say Windows Live OneCare. I think its the best even though it costs money.

Answer 13

If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):

1. AVG Free

a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)

b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses

Cons: low virus detection

2. Avast!

a. Real-time protection

b. It has an option to delete a virus once found

c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.

Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface

3. Avira AntiVir

a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG

b. It's cute umbrella icon

c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses

Cons: A very sluggish update

Answer 14

delete the file, problem solved. AVG is just as good and usually better than anything you are going to pay for, anti-virus is the biggest rip off industry ever, they can only react to threats, and avg has updates all the time so there is no reason to pay for something you get free.
