Help Needed!
« on: July 17, 2008, 07:50:46 PM »
I need a virus scanner program on this damn computer and went to Microsoft's "help page" to find one - that they recommended.
The one I chose just totally screwed up my whole system and I had to uninstall it.
The only thing it did show me was that I have a Trojan on this thing but when I clicked the remove button, it just froze up time and time again.
Then it wouldn't allow my browser to work! So okay - it's gone.
I tried to get the AVG free version and was told it was a corrupt file.

So - anyone got any recommendations?

did you try to get AVG from their site ?.. or another site ?

in general snapfileshas been a good source for programs...

go to Security-Privacy

or Anti Virus (Specialized) http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/security/fwavspecial.html

AVG is good, I have it on all my comps...started with the trial and well, worked it to a full version without actually buying it, butthat is hush hush.  *grins*
