AVG free edition, get it direct from them, you can have a free trial or a free edition, pretty good. better to buy the full version of AVG. my brother is a computer engineer and he swears by it. Also viruses and bugs are different, sometimes you need a debugging software, not anti virus. have you been told it is a virus or a bug?

Also some viruses will not let you install anti virus as they prevent it working properly and they have been programmed to bury themselves inside your computer, where anti virus can not fnd them.

Try to avoid searching free anti virus on google, you will spend hours, downloading rubbish software 10-20 minutes, scanning computer 30-40 minutes, and then it says you have hundreds of viruses and to get rid of them you will have to pay $19 or something. I would recomend going to pc world and buying AVG, it costs between £30-£40 and is well worth the money. My brother charges £60 per hour, So compare the price and you will see a significant difference.

60 quid an hour!!!! I think we are in the wrong job

Try Malwarebytes, a completely free application, note this is not a continously run programme, but should rid any virus.
Download and run preferably in "Safe mode" let it clean out viruses, then load say "Avast" to continually run in background to maintain computer health.
I have both of these, the Avast updates automatically, but you will need to run regular updates on Malwarebytes .

Is there a 2 week fast track course I can go on before charging that?

Malwarebytes is very good & can also run with Microsoft Security Essentials, both free downloads too.

Ah i think thats for additional add on things they do, i downloaded it a few weeks back & a thing came up that was free for 24hours, done some sort of scan & was free to use the once! You can just ignore that bit as Malwarebytes is free.

I have McAfee and I have an adware that they detect but cannot delete, really annoys me as it has been there for sometime now at first it effected my google as when i clicked on a link i was re-directed to an advert but now that doesnt happen but mcafee still cant delete it, neither can malwarebytes

Eset NOD32 - Not free (but then if I asked for a good free plumber on here you'd all laugh!).

I'm an IT Support specialist and of all the AV apps I've ever experienced (and there are a lot) NOD32 is the best in my opinion (at the date of this post, anyway).

avg pro, no problems for over a year.

can get free if know how....

 

[Bartdude]

Or get a Mac.

 

[Uncle_Nige]

A Mac is good idea, but viruses do exist for them, and they're way more expensive to buy and maintain.
