the free avg antivirus

You certainly can. However, Spyware that avg cannot see will run off with your system.

AVG will not remove spyware. It is a antivirus program.

Visit the following page for free anti-spyware software:

You should always have at least one spyware program on your system, but it won't hurt installing several scanners, they backup each other and remove the entries the other ones don't detect. Just never run them simultaneously.

hi, perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus. but you need to pay for the software.
i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:
