Answer 3

Do NOT use any free anti- virus programs. Never. Even though it seems it maybe trustable, but it is very very very very risky. I recommend you the Kaspersky anti-virus system. It is the number one most trustable and well-working anti-virus.

I use a Mac, so I am free of worrying from viruses. heehehehehehehehehhehehehehe

SOrry if that made you jealous. Lol...

I hope this helped. Bye!

You can install CLAMWIN as it will not conflict with existing anti-virus.

ClamWin is a Free Antivirus for Microsoft Windows

that uses the GNU General Public License by the Free Software

Foundation and is free (as in freedom) software.

There is a portable version of ClamWin where it can be install into an USB pendrive as small as 64 MB.

First use another PC to download Clamwin portable anti-virus

and install Clamwin portable on a USB thumb drive.

http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/c...

Update the latest anti-virus definition files.

Set the preferences to delete or move virus to a quarantine folder.

How to configure ClamWin

http://support.real-time.com/open-source...

When the USB pendrive is ready.

Boot up the infected PC in safe mode.

If possible, disable system restore on the infected PC.

Run the Clamwin Anti-virus that is installed on the USB drive to scan the infected PC.

Scan all hard drives for viruses.
