Virus killers and Spyware-Adware killers

i don't know what would be the best anti-virus we can used. i tried many anti-virus so far like avg free edition, avast and avg spyware until a friend advise me to change my anti-virus to the new one name "nod32" it works for my computer but it will expire after 10 days because it is free so i need to uninstall and re install it again so it will be updated always on the internet but it you use this and install to your computer be sure to uninstall all anti-virus you have.

there is no perfect program out there for viruses because there are a lot of viruses out there in the internet being created every single day that virus scanner don't know what to do with them because they can't distinguish if they are virus or not. i would suggest that if you did not reformat your computer yet, you do it right away before malware takes over your computer and steals all your information and your identity. currently i think the best right now is kaspersky.

I agree more with julyteen than with anyone else here; I'd put more stock in NOD32 than in Kaspersky. Kaspersky updates the fastest, but NOD32 has the best heuristics without too many false positives (AntiVir has the best heuristics of all, but too many false positives). There is too much polymorphic malware out there now to depend on signature updates; no one can keep up. NOD32 is most likely to catch a new parasite before it infects your machine, and is also one of the most resistant antimalware engines against termination by a hostile agent. The reason your Geek Squad friends recommend Kaspersky is because it's one of the better products they sell; NOD32 is only available online as far as I know: http://www.eset.com/ But again, there is so much polymorphic malware out there now that signature-based scanners (even those with the best heuristics) alone are not enough. I understand the three biggest names in PC security have implemented new measures to block drive-by downloads, which is when a parasite installs itself on your machine as you visit a compromised Web page. I can't say anything about the effectiveness of the new proactive components in Norton (Symantec) or PC-Cillin (Trend) at this time, but I have personally seen McAfee in action against drive-by attacks, and it really works. As long as you don't install a Trojan locally, it can keep your system 100% clean. Its heuristics can't touch those of NOD32, but Eset has yet to embrace the new "anti-drive-by" concept. Unless you have some noxious downloading habits, a good choice would be McAfee. Unless your system has been severely compromised, you shouldn't have to reinstall Windows. However, I can't tell you without seeing your system just how severe the attack you describe is. It may be as simple as a couple registry entries that didn't get deleted, and it may be as insidious as a rootkit. A professional (myself included) could get rid of something like this, but the problem is you don't always know how thorough an investigation is being performed. I understand that some news group conducted a comparative review a few months ago on three corporations which provide PC servicing. I don't know who the third company was, but two of them were Best Buy and Staples. Staples got a "B" score, and the other two bombed miserably (Best Buy made all the wrong diagnoses, and never even returned a phone call). If you're going to pay again to have your machine looked at, I'd recommend you take it to Staples. If you want to give it a shot yourself, I recommend scanning your system with these: http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/housecall http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml http://www.ewido.net/en/ Hope this helps!

No program is flawless, but Kaspersky and AVG are pretty good. For anti-spyware, try Adaware or AVG antispyware, and if you keep them as free programs, use Spyware Terminator for a realtime scanner.

hey i had these problem 6 month ago and i swith to NIS2007 and now my computer work very smothly in my opinion u can also used it
