Ok so my pc got infected with viruses and spyware. I bought bitdefender 2009. I did a whole system scan and half the viruses it found it couldt "take any action" (delete) because they were in .rar files or just couldnt delete it for whatever reason. So my question is. What is the best antivirus program to get rid of all the viruses and spyware (a strong antivirus which will delete viruses even if in .rar files)?

You can get McAfee antivirus for free here - http://daol.aol.com/security/virusscan-plus Just make an AOL email account or something... I use this antivirus, does the job.

It's not free any more Daz

oh... it must of changed - lucky me then Try this other free anti virus - http://home3.ca.com/SubscriptCenter/...n.aspx?cid=573 (http://home3.ca.com/SubscriptCenter/MSTrialRegistration.aspx?cid=573)

avg antivrius

it doesnt bother me if its free or not. ill buy it at what ever the price is. I just need to get one thats gonna get rid off all the viruses because BitDefender couldnt get rid of half of them and BitDefender is rated the best :S

NOD32 is awesome.

thanks for the replies. I thought about it and bought NOD32 and Downloaded AVG. But still i got this problem where if I searh something in google then click on the link, it redirects me to somewhere else like an add site or a porn site. I dunno how to get rid of what ever is causing it

Have you run windows update? There was a malicious code out a while back that they put an update out for. Was pretty bad with the windows redirecting on IE..

I cant update. When I try to install the update it always brings up this thing asking me to put in the microsoft word 2002 cd :S. I dont have any cds so my only option is to press cancel and it wont install.

Most likely have entries in your hosts file thats causing the redirections, as for Bit Defender it is up there with the good apps and the reason it's not deleting your viruses is probably because the viruses are in use, can't delete files that are being used by another process. I personally use Kaspersky but Bit Defender should do the job just as good. Try running it in safe mode, the viruses won't be in use in safe mode.

All viruses are gone but google is still redirecting. Anything I can do? I couldnt get rid of the virus/spyware so I just reformatted my pc
