What website could I go to to do a free scan of my computer for viruses, spyware, adware?

Answer 1

Antiviral. (free)

AVG free. Excellent protection available from: http://www.Grisoft.com

Don't use two antiviral products together as they may be incompatible. If your Antiviral trial has run out, then remove product from your computer and get the AVG installed.

Anti-spyware (all free)

Essential products are: Adaware SE from: http://www.lavasoft.com

Spybot SD http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

Spywareblaster http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Windows Defender - from Microsoft downloads.

Spycatcher
http://www.tenebril.com/consumer/spyware/spycatcher-express.php

PC starter kit at download.com 20 of the best recommended programes for people new or less advanced in computers. Check all three pages, at bottom see Security/Tools/Fun

http://www.download.com/PC-Starter-Kit/2001-12350_4-0.html?tag=dir

C Cleaner.http://www.ccleaner.com/

This will tell you a lot about what is on your computer, such as running programmes,cookies, History, settings etc. and will help you clean up and remove unwanted items. Be careful how you use it as it is a very powerful programme and you should read the help index before you do anything with it.

Hope this information is of help to you and others.

Answer 3

Go to Ad-ware and download their spyware remover it does seriously work.
Also a word of advice, don't search over the web for 'Free Virus/Spyware scanning as this will lead to pop-ups saying that they can do this job for u when all they are actually doing are either installing one or saying there is one so you do actually download their program which is also actually a virus/spyware.

Answer 4

I am partial to Trend Micro's Housecall. It scans for both viruses and spyware, while other sites only scan for viruses. In addition, it can remove any malicious files it finds for free. Most sites just scan the hard drive and will charge you for removing the malicious files. You can find Trend Micro's Housecall homepage at: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/. Please be sure to read the license agreement.

Answer 8

hi, there maybe something wrong with your IE.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.

besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.

download firefox for free:
