Hi All,

I saw that Crunchi posted this to another user & I decided to go ahead & try another anti virus sofware other than AntiVir just to see what it would come up with....

-----------------------------

Please visit at least two of the following sites for an online virus scan:

BitDefender Free Online Virus Scan
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php
Make sure you tick AutoClean under Scan Options.

Panda ActiveScan
http://www.pandasoftware.com/active...n_principal.htm
Make sure you tick Disinfect automatically under Scan Options.

Housecall at TrendMicro
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/hou.../start_corp.asp
Make sure you tick Auto Clean.
When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.

eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner

----------------------------
When I tried to run them from FF, they all said I have to be on IE (why is that?) & my bloody IE is infected once again with that bloody toolbar & I didn't want to open it. It's like a ticking time bomb.

I decided to open it anyway to hopefully solve the problem & then I realized it wanted me to DL the other anti virus programs, but you can't run more than one at the same time, so what should I do?

Also what do people here think about Anti Vir?

They pissed me off royally a few weeks ago b/c I was going to purchase their new paid software but b/c they don't understand English or prepared their site properly for the launch of their new version, no one outside a few countries (NA not being one of them) can sign up & register in order to pay & even their boards aren't fully in English in order to get answers.

Numerous e-mails back & forth didn't solve the problem b/c they didn't understand a word I was saying & I finally freaked on them after I was somehow signed up for their ezine even though I can't use their product & they won't solve the problem LOL

I am very careful about what goes on my machine, but with working so much online, it's innevitable that stuff gets on it. <sigh> & yes, my Anti Vir is almost always up-to-date & I even run Scan Spyware (which I paid for) & that helps only marginally.

Who likes which anti virus & anti spyware program the best & why?

Thanks for any help
