Try Avast you can not get a better anti virus system for free.

it has many features you will have to pay for in other systems.

Answer 3

Here, i have specified 4 programs ( including dl links ). Those programs has been specially designed for REMOVAL ONLY of strong viruses and worms : http://www.ecuhq.com/download-links-f44/...



Antispyware would be ↓ ( all free ) :



♣ Malwarebytes AntiMalware

♣ SUPERAntiSpyware

♣ Spyware Terminator

♣ Ad-Aware SE

♣ Spybot Search & Destroy

♣ HijackThis



I`d give special intention to the first 3 programs listed.



How to set/configure SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.ecuhq.com/tested-programs-how...



HijackThis removes malicious registry keys, pretty useful for final cleaning.



How to use HijackThis : http://www.ecuhq.com/tested-programs-how...



If that doesnt satisfy you, use ClamWin ( also free ).



All available at :

You could also try going back in time, using System Restore : http://www.ecuhq.com/tricks-f6/create-a-...



For your firewall what I recommend is,Pc tools Firewall plus or Zonealarm Firewall.

To protect against keyloggers in the future I recommend using KeyScrambler Personal 2.4.

KeyScrambler Personal is a free plug-in for your Web browser that protects everything you type from keyloggers. It defeats keyloggers by encrypting your keystrokes at the keyboard driver level, deep within the operating system. When the encrypted keystrokes reach your browser, KeyScrambler then decrypts them so you see exactly the keys you've typed. Keyloggers can only record the encrypted keys, which are completely indecipherable. Unlike anti-virus and anti-spyware programs that depend on recognition to remove keyloggers that they know about, KeyScrambler will protect you from both known and unknown keyloggers. What's more, KeyScrambler provides protection without getting in your way. You don't have anything to learn about the program and you don't have to do anything differently, but with KeyScrambler your important personal information will be a whole lot safer.



Look at a pic of keyscrambler.

Answer 4

Hi try Avast or Avira, excellent detection rates.

Disco Stew although the list you provided had some good tools . You only recommended 1 Anyivirus,Clam win. those others are not antivirus and will not even provide real time protection fro free, except SpyBot.

Answer 5

visit c/net freedownload.com and choose anti virus softwares such as Avira, spybot search & destroy, supersntispyware, Malwarebytes, stinger1000,pop-up stopper,threat Fire,secunia PSI, AVG,Avast,NOD32,glary utilities. These all are free having updating facility, all can be downloaded at a time and can be used one by one to scan the system, glary utilities is meant for fixing the registry entries, and some other options in one click operation. superantispyware and malwarebytes are capable to remove trojan virus.

Answer 6

i will only list anti-virus programs not anti-spyware. there are only 2 free anti-virus programs that are worth mentioning.avira and avast.they both are light on resources and wont make your pc slow down.plus they have very good detection rates.the newest version of avg is huge and bloated.reminds me of old norton.if you don't want to pay for eset nod32 or kaspersky then i would go with avast or avira.good luck to you.

Answer 7

avg is the best free anti virus the link below

Answer 8

download.com



avg is pretty good and antivir is good also. both are free to use. and millions have used them also. i think both are in the top ten and cnet.com editors also rate them amongst the other antiviirus programs out there, now they most antivirus software doesn't give you much protection from malware and spyware, but that when you need other software to work with it. Such are ad-aware and malwarebytes antimalware, also on download.com, just scroll to their top 10 list.

Answer 9

In my journey, no. I even have tried many "freeware" or "opensource" courses. i hit upon them fantastically experimental, and many of them(I won't point out them), are beta assessments for advertisement products i.e. they use YOU to attempt their product for them before they positioned it on sale. specific, they have persevering with variations, yet those are all to attempt for bugs and updates. circulate to the precise 5 Antivirus/spy ware courses -- very inexpensive products -- artwork like a allure i take advantage of the spyware Bot individually and by no skill had a concern in 3 years
