Hi,
Once again, I have been severely attacked by a nasty virus named: Antimalware doctor. This is a nasty scam and the scammers wanted me to buy a full version of their application. It was giving fake alerts of security and I had so many attacks of Trojans, Hijackers, Virus bursts, etc. It took me so long to erased everything.
I used Malwarebyte's Anti-malware and it didn't work at the beginning. Then, I tried to use Stopzilla but that is a scam because they suddenly charge money after finding the viruses throughout the system. So, I remembered, somebody referred me to Spybot Search and Destroy. I think it worked, but it took hours for cleaning, searching and checking my system.
Then something occurred: over 40 black screen windows appeared non stop for like 1-2 minutes with Win32 from DOS, I think. I was panicking because I thought that I was loosing my computer.
I am wondering what are the best programs ( and the free ones) to destroy easily those nasty virus attacks, including the trojans, hijackers, etc.
I am wondering that what kind of a human being does it takes to creates disgusting viruses. They should be ashamed of existing and should be punished.
I got something really nasty since last night and I didn't not slept at all. About 4 months ago, I caught another viral attack.
I am wondering what is the point of buying computers when there dumb criminals out there.
On last thing, is it better buying a MAC or a Windows from Microsoft, if somebody has an idea, I would appreciate the advice.
Thank you.

1. AVG Free is a decent anti-virus which is free, and detects most viruses, but has its flaws and defects.
2. I consider that the first viruses were made to steal Identity, but as technology advanced, they used it for military for system disabling, then are now used for scams and other things.
3. If your made for business meaning you do work, not games, then get MACs. If your made for gaming.
NOTE: A piece of advice. Never EVER Download anything that isn't trusted, read reviews about the program first, then download it if its legititimate.

Hi,
I have tried AVG and I never liked it, because I had so many problems with it. So, right now I have Avast and some other programs I have downloaded to destroy my nasty virus that I caught last night. It took all night to try to figure out how to delete the horrible thing. I always download stuff that I can trust and are fine to use. I will never download something that I never heard of, because it is full of viruses. But sometimes, without knowing it, even on government websites, I get viruses, it is weird.
Thanks for the advice, I will be even more careful.
