If it's a free virus or any Malware remover that originally should be payed for It's probable Malware itself!!!
75% of the "protection" software on the web is Malware written or (re-configured origional software) by hackers.
If your not getting your protection DIRECTLY from the site that created it you probably have a spy watching you!
And you don't know it!
I Recommend only downloading from the ORIGINAL vendor and paying for it. Or even for FREE software ONLY download form the ORIGINAL manufacturer.
(No I do not work for any. lol)
I trust an use ALL of the following FREE software.
I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index... version
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)...
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Norton antivirus is not a free program. If you want a free antivirus go to www.avast.com. Getting norton antivirus without purchasing it is stealing.

Stay away from anything Norton. It is an extreme system resource hog. You shold just pay for your computer protection and get McAffee or Zone Alarm security suite.

Throw away Norton/Symantec software, which just gums up your computer and sucks cash out of your wallet. You can't get it free. Instead, get AVG free antivirus. It is so nice. Download at http://free.grisoft.com/doc/avg-anti-virus-free/lng/us/tpl/v5
