Page 1 of help viruses

have just run the pc pitstop test and have so far found 2 virus
is there any free soft ware that removes them anywhere since the Mcafee i have is out of date for downloads.
n

got tohttp://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php and download their free and excellent virus checker, called AVG.

I use Mcafee but keep hearing and seeing the name AVG mentioned everywhere as the one to use if not wanting to pay for one.

Hope this helps

The Panda Activescan one is pretty good too.

Dazza.

download the stinger from mcfree, its just a removal tool only will remove all the latest/know virus`s, free, no need to have virus software installed, but in the long run you should get your defs re-subscribed to or another application installed.

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID

go for avg free edition, i rate it above norton/sophos/mcaffe/kaspersky/pccilin etc (and i have either tried or have friends/family that heve used the other progs) and do double checks with http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
AND http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

also which firewall are you using ? i use www.zonelabs.com free edition, tho this does not suite everyone, also consider an anti spyware prog like addaware or spybot (i use both) again these are free to download and maintain

Thanks guys
Ogster i too run zonelabs and use spybot once a month,
I found the macafee download last night but it did not seem to list the virus that came up when i checked but i`ll give it a go anyway
