ummmmmm....... While getting some of the downloads i think i have BEEN INFECTED!
Does anyone know of any good and free Antivirus programs? i would really need some help b/c this virus is killing my computer

Thank you

Please post more details, such as symptons.

ohh okay: i got an Autorun spyware, Trojan.Tosso,a Win32 Worm, Trojan Dropper ect. i have data loss sometimes of internet connection problems and not showing up and loss of settings
Now that i really think about it--This IS bad!

for one shut off internet, then work away the virusses. Attempt getting an antivirus program before hitting downloads on the internet.

Trojan horses are 'gap makers'. They make it easier for other virusses to come in. They are easily caught.
They're like a disease, and whoever makes virusses are really a bunch of twats.

Nice going, get Ad-Aware 2007, as well as Spybot 1.4 (or 1.5 if its out).

Also, Mircrosofts anti-virus program is excellent.

What downloads?

Avast! Is a decent anti-virus program too.

are all of these free free?
ohh i wish they don't require registration

Yes.

No, were ♥♥♥♥♥ with you totally, since you asked for us to name free anti-spyware and anti-virus programs... we're all just ass holes who want to ♥♥♥♥♥ you over.


Oh course they are free.

Just google and install and scan for heavens sake.

Yes yes but on the Ad-Aware 2007 it requires a register acount

I will repeat my question, hopefully to get an answer this time:

What downloads? Since you say 'the downloads' it sounds like you are hinting at the BW ones.

no not quite. i was downloading music
i mean come on, the BW, they are secure...right

Free or copyrighted?

i'm not too sure - i think it is copyright but i also think those threads came from the site

Copyrighted music is music that you are expected to pay for. If you don't, then you are stealing.

i said i wasn't and still am not sure what is it. it just says free download

Well, obviously you are visiting questionable websites. Stop that and the viruses will stop appearing on your hard drive.

Ad-Ware 2007 SE should be free.

It requires registration and i don't want that.
i might go with Spybot 1.4 even though i already seem to have permanet data loss

It shouldn't.

Use this one, there should be no reason that you have to register, your just downloading the wrong file.

Spybot is a great program, but it only removes adware and spyware, not viruses. At least that was the case the last time I used it.

Well it does have the word spy in the name so put two and two together.

If you need a good real time anti virus Kaspersky is great... you could even likely torrent and crack for it at no cost.

Nowadays I use AVG Free.
I used to use Panda AntiVirus, before the trial ran out. It was the best anti-virus program I ever used.

I'm using Multivirus Cleaner which is totaly free and quite nice.

But, 1st: It does not offer a real time protection
2nd : That program is still quite young so not perfect...

I also use Ad-Aware which is a great program I think.

I used Sophos too as a Firewall but Sophos was TOO POWERFUL ! I was fed up of that program blocking everything even the things I needed lol

fixed

The 1st reason is enough to not bother with it. Many viruses make sure that you won't be able to do a manual virus scan until after a reformat.

i hear that AVG i really good but i never gave it a try.(wonder why)
and akstylish, i didn't wrote "downloading pr0n"- heck no.

AVG i good if only you have the version where its real time, otherwise the free one isn't too great, i found that it would find the viruses all good (after an hour) but it wouldn't let you do anything to get rid of them, and so i didn't bother with it when i got my new PC.

I'm telling you, Avast is great. Free, real time scans, first time installed it does a full scan before windows starts to remove any existing viruses, then full featured real time protection covers many areas to block future viruses.

Avast... hmmm. When my Kaspersky 's run time runs out (later this summer) that very well could be a nice substitute.
