      careful though. some of those sites that say they want to help you actually have their own malware on them. if it were me, i'd go to office max and pop 25 bucks or so for a spyware/adware/malware remover. a lot safer in the end. good luck.

      Try ClamWin if you insist on using the virus prone OS Windows. It's Open Source, so if there ever is a problem, it has a large community of support behind it with folks able to make fixes when needed. I use Linux Mint, a Ubuntu based OS, and there's no need for an anti-virus, registry cleaner, firewall, or defragmenting tool.

      Only the trial version of antivirus software are free. There is not any antivirus software which is available free of cost. Mcafee Internet security is best antivirus for protection of your PC.

      Dear Friend;
      Just download this and restart your system in safe mode and the run it after its installation virus removing process will start and just left it till it finish its process.
      after that just restart your computer and now your computer will be free of viruses, but may be some restrictions which was created by the viruses will be available.  If you find any such problem just let me know I will guide you.

    The best free antivirus is Avira or Nod32.
    AVG is also okay but Avira does a better job in my opinion.

    Just to add a point of differentiation: Many times installing standard antivirus software (Norton, AVG, McAfee, etc.)after you are already infected won't do the job.
    
    I have found that MalwareBytes does a good job where some of the traditional AV products cannot clean up everything.
    
    If the infection is real nasty it is generally a good idea to boot up in Safe Mode (using F8 key at boot time) and then run virus removal software. For particularly nasty infections you may need a standard AV product and MalwareBytes and Safe Mode.

    to be honest Free antivirus/malware cleaners don't do half the job that a registry cleaner can do for 29.99 4 single comp or 39.99 for multiple comps. Try Desktop Meastro or System Mechanic if interested.

       A registry cleaner has nothing at all to do with viruses. They are apples and oranges. Would you pay your doctor to defend you in a court of law or would you get a lawyer? Antivirus programs protect your from viruses, registry cleaners DO NOT.
       Registry cleaners don't do all that much anyways usually, maybe give you about a 10% faster reboot time. You pay $30 for a program and thats all it does? I got mine for free.
       
       I have used AVG Free edition for years and never had a problem. I like it much better than the Mcafee I paid $100 per year for when there were no free solutions for the new Vista.

    You didn't tell us the type of OS that you are running on your computer. But I'll assume that it is Windows. The best till date for me is Microsoft security essentials. It is unobstrusive, powerful and doesn't slow down your computer's performance like all the other antivirus software. For me it is the best computer security software for windows.

       Personaly, I've been using a combination of Avira Antivir  and Malwarbytes Anti-malware, for the pass couple of years, which have worked great for me.  Avira doesn't seem to take much system resources. There's a free version that can be downloaded if that's any help to anyone. AVG has grown to become pretty good now too, I hear, but have not used it myself in a long time. http://integra-cs.co.cc/free-product-efw.html

    1) Better download AVG Free antivirus 2014.
    http://free.avg.com/ca-en/free-antivirus-download
    Note: Above URL is not a promotional URL. Its AVG site to download FREE antivirus to solve the problem.
    2) Install the software.
    3) Re-start your system in safe mode.
    4) Login as administrator.
    5) Go to AVG Command line scanner/scanning
    6) Start the scanning
    Note: Based on your system capability & information stored in it, it would take couple of hours to scan.
    7) Allow your system to scan completely.
    Then AVG does the job for you.
    Above process is applicable only if you Virus in your system.
    If you have Malwares, Spywares & adwares  in your system, I would recommend Spybot to start with your spyware scanning with the similar step or approach you followed for Virus scanning.
    8) Once cleaning of malwares & viruses are done, restart your system in normal mode.
    Connect to internet. Do an online detailed or complete virus scanning using NOD32 or Bitdefender.
    This is to doublecheck nothing is leftout in your system
    9) However I would recommend you purchase AVG Internet security edition or Bitdefender Internet security edition and protect your system permanently

    Well, this thread's as old as time itself, but I suppose I'll weigh in. Got nothin' better to do. It's midnight. Why not?
    
    I only use two programs, and luckily, they're both free:
    
    Ad-Aware
    Malwarebytes
    
    You can buy full versions if you want, but if you're just looking for a program to scan your compy and delete malcontents, then there's little better out there you can get for free.
