Title: Free and safe PC virus scanner
Post by: Đstroyr on February 27, 2008, 04:03:40 PM

A very good PC scanner for viruses,spyware,etc. May take some time but it worked for me when others wouldnt. AND on 1 file only that was causing trouble ;)

I've recommended this "quick scan" to people "in a pinch" rather than potentially making their sluggish system worse by installing a big AV program.

It's VERY good, BUT... I would NOT use it as your "regular" antivirus solution for many reasons.

I suggest that you use it only "in a pinch," or if you just won't EVER get & install an AV program, then maybe that's a good reason to run TrendMicro's HouseCall every few months or more....
