It is OK as long as the software progrms dtetect and delete the viruses. Bot all programs are not universaly effective. That is why various programs are systamatically updated to meet the challenges from the new viruses. There are a number of antivirus and anti spyware in the market. Some are free and some are to be purchased. Please visit the following site and select a suitable free antivirus.

This Panda Online scan can remove this program.

Anti-Virus programs work like this: When a new virus is found (someone needs to get infected) the company that makes your AV program evaluates it. They then write what is known as a Definition. This is the information to detect and remove the virus. This Definition the then be uploaded to your AV program as an Update. Now your AV program can detect it and block its entry.
Tomorrow the Virus is modified with a change or two and now becomes a new virus that cannot be detected by your AV program. A new Definition needs to be produced and your program udated. Most AV companies are very good at keeping up with the "crap".
Anti-Spyware programs are simular to the above. The problem is there are thousands more Spyware programs introduced each month than Viruses.
This is why you should have at least 3 AS programs that provide Full Time protection on your computer. Most free AS programs work as "On Demand" scanners and do not provide Full Time protection.

Another unknowing user I see! Virus protection is a farce! There is NO virus protection on the net that catches everything! Consider the fact that at least 2 new viruses are written and passed to the net every week! How could ANY protection find a virus it doesnt know exists yet? IT CANT! By the time the companies find out there is a new virus out, 2 months have already passed! Now it takes another month to write software for it and update your virus software! Its already too late aint it?

(1) No anti-virus software is perfect: no anti-virus company knows every virus that's out there or writes anti-virus handlers that can hunt and fetch with absolute perfection. (2) If you don't keep your antivirus software's definitions perfectly or at least reasonably up-to-date, it may not know the virus was there to be fetched. With (1) and (2) in mind, it won't hurt to now and then (3) either have a different anti-virus alternative in the wings like for example a free scan available from microsoft or whatever... (I use several "overkill" methods on my PC)

Viruses are only identified and scanned for on anti-virus programs after they have been reported numerous times. You're best bet is to have a great firewall, and adware programs installed.

adclicker-bj is a trojan, not a virus. McAfee reported it two years ago. Antivirus can't find it or fix it. So instead of badmouthing your antivirus software, what you really need is Ad-Aware and SpyBot or Spyware Doctor from Download.com

Is your anti-virus up-to-date? If so and it still did not catch it try running a online scan at http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx
