Best Free Anti Virus/malware Software!

[Danny G]

I have a pretty nasty virus that I cannot shift from my PC, Tried AVG, Malwarebytes, Avast and a-squared, they cannot seem to get shot of it, Now I dont really want to pay for a top notch one, do any of you geeks know of some other good free ones I can try??

 

Thanks

go to scan you can get kaspersky for around 12 quid, dont mess around with free stuff, thats how you got it in the first place. I used to do that but not anymore scan themselves use kaspersky so thats good enough for me.

What Barry & Cassie said. The only time I've had issues with viruses I was using works laptop who used kaspersky iirc.

Free avast has always been bob on for me. Infact, they kindly told me earlier today they'd bloked a trojan, which I thought was nice of them.

So if you have a virus, and the free shit don't work, what other options are there apart from re-installing ?

 

Or am I missing your point as in, don't pay and download the full software from one of them there naughty sites ?

If you get a particular cunt of a virus then odds are your not the first, put the symptoms in google and have a quick read, the method of removing it will be there.

 

Also your second point is totally valid.

 

I use nod32 and have never had a problem and most of the folk on the geek forums I use also use the same.

 

(tell a lie, I did have a problem once, I ran an exe which nod32 stopped and told me not to run, I told nod32 to fuck off I knew what I was doing. Barry 0 - 1 Machine. I've not done that since as it was one of them cunty ones aswell.)

I've used AVG for yonks and never had a problem, so I would recommend them
