Is there a way to get viruses off my computer for free?

Consider this an excellent time to recognize that

your operating system is defective. I recommend replacing

it with one of:

http://fedora.redhat.com/

http://www.centos.org/

http://www.opensuse.org/

http://www.debian.org/

http://www.ubuntu.org/

http://www.slackware.org/

http://www.freebsd.org/

http://www.opensolaris.org/

Any of these will be more reliable, less susceptible to

viri, uses your hardware more efficiently, and they're

all free.

Because free programs are never completely as secure as the programs you are paying for.

Therefore I always recommend not to install either AVG free or Avast free, but one of those 2 in combination with 2 other programs.

AVG free

http://free.avg.com/

or

Avast free

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht...

Then the 2 programs you should install togehter with one of the above.

Threatfire is an anti virus, that can be installed next to any other anti virus program on the same computer

There is a lot of mal ware you have to protect your pc against.

This is a very good program, that completely runs in the background

http://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.ht...

Installing these 3 programs, will not use any extra RAM or CPU usage.

Your computer will be very well protected and it does cost you nothing

AVG Free Edition

If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):

1. AVG Free

a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)

b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses

Cons: low virus detection

2. Avast!

a. Real-time protection

b. It has an option to delete a virus once found

c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.

Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface

3. Avira AntiVir

a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG

b. It's cute umbrella icon

c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses

Cons: A very sluggish update

If you also want free anti-spyware and I would recommend getting SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes.
