I use Avast, Spyware Guard, Spyware blaster
as defenses so far I've had nothing get through
to my PC. And trust me i go through a lot of
downloads.

The one time i had something was because i
was stupid enough to open it... and with the help
of Avast, it was clean in a couple of minutes.
I also recommend Spybot Search and Destroy,
MalwareBytes, AVG (I normally install this one
on computers that i fix, because its easy to use)
and Avira Antivirus (spell check?).
If you keep a good security (run scans frequently,
and keep them all up to date) you shouldn't have
this problem again.

Good luck :)

AVG is garbage (speaking from experience). Avast is much better.

Agreed, that's why i don't use it myself, but
its good enough for you know, my costumers.
That way they call me back again in mm

Why did you use it? I have used both and I find that Avast is "garbage". AVG is Spyware so it knows what it is looking for in theory.

Malware Bytes, is the AV/AM(Anti-Malware) I suggest to everyone. I believe it is free, however it might be a fully functional trial. It has yet to stop a virus I have caught, except the newest Antivirus Spyware 2009 Virus.


Hmm, only has ability to stop one virus, and a somewhat trivial one at that...I think I will stay away from that then.

I think he worded it poorly. It sounded like it never works.
