Virus on my PC!!!!!!!!!?

Question

I recently got a virus on my PC. I downloaded an anti-virus scan, but when it's done finding the virus i have to pay $60.00 for the full version just to fix it. Does any one know where i can get a free Virus Scanner without having to purchase it to fix the viruses. Me and my PC Need You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I would recommend that you try AVG

Answer 2

C Cleaner will probably eliminate this. Oh and you should never D/L virus software that costs $. Go to download.com (spyware free) and only get FREE virus removers.

Answer 3

You must be very careful alot of fraudulent security programs will try and tell you to buy they product to remove your isssue. Don't buy into it.  You can ran a program called malwarebytes to try and remove your infection.  You alway need to make sure the system is healthy 100% before installing a security program.  If you have any questions or issues check out http://www.nicklockard.com

Answer 4

ANY AV product that does this is probably a virus itself... or a very crappy AV product.

Get ESET NOD32 30 day free trial from http://www.eset.com it is fully functional for 30 days.

Also, malwarebytes Anti-Malware from http://www.malwarebytes.org might be useful to clean up your system (for free) before you install the ESET.

Answer 5

download the free edition of AVG 8.0 here, its free & works well for protection:

Answer 6

you can't really get any decent anti-virus software.  if you know where the virus is, you can manually destroy the infected files.  for more info go to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Free_...

Answer 8

I would suggest you check out some of these anti-virus and anti-spyware software programs along with a couple other recommended programs:

-McAfee 12 in 1 Security Center (anti-virus)

or AVG if you want a free program

-Spyware Doctor with AV (anti-spyware)

or Spybot S&D if you want a free program

-PC Tools Firewall Plus(free) (firewall)

-ThreatFire(free) (added virus protection)

-CCleaner(keep computer running pretty good, cleans up history and whatnot)

-Firefox(safe browser)

All of the above programs(aside Spybot and AVG) I use and have been using for a very long time now, all with fantastic results. For AVG and Spybot they are both good in the way of free protection but McAfee and Spyware Doctor are recommended.

Answer 9

try AVG free ... it's pretty good

google it and it's a fast and free download
