I'm having problems with some Trojans and other malware that keeps on coming back on my computer. Can somebody out there please tell me a good antivirus that can even kill a hard to kill process. I have this ati2isxx.sys file that my antivirus can't disinfect or even delete.

Nevermind the microsoft or even buying any anti-virus software. AVG (www.grisoft.com) is a good all around anti-virus program that has updates almost daily. But that will only get the virus's. Then are the trio of perfection when it comes to spyware & malware.
1.) Malware Bytes: This program will find and clean any malware off of your system. It picks up on stuff that the other ones just dont.
2.) Adaware: Lavasoft has many different versions but the free one is great as long as you run it on a regular basis.
3.) Spybod S&D: The S&D stands for Search and Destroy, cause thats what it does. This scan takes a little time, depdnding on your HD size, but it usually cleans up what the others miss.
Each of these 4 programs listed has strengths and weakness's. The good thing is that by using them in combination all of the weakness's are suplemented by the other programs.
I hope this helps.

I already tried using AVG and I am not quite happy utilizing it because it makes my computer so slow. Oh well, I'll check the other security/antivirus/anti-adware tools that you have suggested. Thanks for the infos. I really appreciate it. Have a nice day! ^_^

You can use original Norton or Kaspersky antivirus to remove the Trojans and other malwares in your computer. They maybe in your system already. I would suggest that you reformat your computer and install original antivirus. Whenever you use the net, it will automatically update your antivirus, so your computer is always be protected.
There are other antiviruses available, but the two I stated were the programs that I have used already and they were good for me.
I hope this helps.

I have already used Kaspersky antivirus and it cant't remove this ati2isxx.sys file. I haven't tried Norton.. I'll check that one if it can remove the SYS file. I think it is the Trojan that keeps on dropping other Trojans on my computer. Thanks for responding. I really appreciate it.
