How come when i ran the avast virus removal thing it said i had no viruses.

Question

And the other one said i had alot of viruses. So i dont know what to do. Please help me

Answer 1

Some anti-virus program may identify another brand anti-virus program as a virus.

I saw a news where this company is current been sue for anti-competitive practise for wrongfully target competitors products as virus.

Answer 2

A very good, free anti-virus available to download is AVG 8 Anti-virus:

And for any spyware problems, get SpyBot - Search and Destroy:

And for protecting your personal info and files, use Ad-Aware 2008 Free Edition:

http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_fr...

All of them are free, as powerful as paid programs, like Norton and McAfee, and don't use up as many resources.

Just boot into Safe Mode (Press F8 when turning on the computer) and run full scans.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Having 2 anti virus it's not a good idea, since they interfere each other.

My advice is, to uninstall the one you don't trust and keep the one you trust, then run again the scan and whatever the results are. trust it.
