I'm like freaking out, because I don't wanna kill my computer or anything like that, I just need to clean it and get rid of the viruses.

Replies obvious child Posted at 4:34 pm on Jan. 26, 2008 IMO Kaspersky 7 > Avg/PC trends > Norton > Nothing > McAfee allsmiles Posted at 4:33 pm on Jan. 26, 2008 I wouldn't waste your time with antivirus. Just wipe the hard drive and be done with it - antivirus software slows your computer down much more than a virus would. Spashley72 Posted at 1:49 pm on Jan. 25, 2008 Its not bad, but I'd get McAfee. It's amazing!!!! MusicalSuicide17 Posted at 4:29 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 I actually think Norton sucks...hope it works for you though :) bloodwolves Posted at 10:50 pm on Jan. 22, 2008 Well I don't think norton is very good to be quite honest so I got that a long time ago and got AVG : ) Which is good! It scans the computer and then puts the viruses in a vault. Also... I know this next thing im about to mention if for spyware..but..it will fix any problem! So it's quite good =/ Download the free edition of Spybot search + destroy from the internet. Jo x kdc824 Posted at 9:53 pm on Jan. 22, 2008 It depends on which version of Norton you are using...if you buy Norton Internet Security, use the disc as a coaster...it's crap. Most new viruses are quite nasty, and will actually screw stuff up when you try to scan.  I would download Avast (free, www.avast.com), and when you install it, select the "schedule boot scan" option. chelseaernest Posted at 9:38 pm on Jan. 22, 2008 i have it. like 2 weeks ago i had 31 viruses. not its only 4 Justinc08 Posted at 9:31 pm on Jan. 22, 2008 I'm using Symantec which is like the same thing as Norton I think. Best virus system out there.
