I have AVG on the family computer and Nod on the business one. Have used Nortons, PCcillin, Avast and, looked at a few others. |

Bigger jobs will mean editing the registry and startup programs,combimed with repeat scans of the system and manual removel of files. Programs like moveonboot are ya best freind when it comes to regenerating viruses or memory resident infections. Keep in mind that you can right click an teh AVG results and select "take me to file", sometimes you can delete the file pnce you have identified it with no drama,even though AVG was unable to do anything apart from red flag it. |
