Where can I get "Free" antivirus on line.I have a backdoor Trojen virus???

Answer 1

AVG is the best I have found so far. It is free and it works better than almost all paid versions. http://www.grisoft.com/ . It is not a resource hog like norton or kapersky or many others.

Answer 2

Using Internet Explorer, go to this website and follow the instructions to use it's "active" scan:

http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm

The benefit of this is that the anti-virus checker is not on your system, and so it hasn't been compromised. You can try installing anti-virus software on you comptuer, but if it's infected the chance of the new software finding the virus is slim, since the system typically scans files to see if any changes have been made to them.

I have been infected and nothing but this Active Scan got rid of the infections. I don't mean to discount anybody's help, here, but I would hate to see you try all these things with no luck. If you are planning to install any anti-virus software, like most people are recommending here, I'd really like you to first try that Active Scan. When you start it, it will ask you to dowload a ActiveX plug-in, and believe me there is nothing malicious about it. Once that is installed, it starts scanning your computer, and it does a really good job.

After you do this, then download one of the apps that everybody else is suggesting. I know you will be pleasantly relieved to get your infection off.

VIRUS REMOVAL STEPS:

this will be long,tedious and frustrrating but it needs doing step by step

XP:

most nasties are set to reside in your restore system. clean them out and forget to close S.R. BEFORE you start clean up and they return when you reboot.

do this while OFFLINE!
start--all programs--accessories--system tools--system restore--settings--drive [ c ]--setting
check off and while there,click--hold--drag slider to 5% and recover 10% hard drive memory

control panel--internet options--general
delete:
cookies--history [ and set days to keep to 0 ]--delete temp internet files

privacy tab:
advanced--override--allow session,allow 1st party--BLOCK 3rd party [ spyware/tracking ] cookies

Recycle Bin
click on recycle bin and empty it

Disk Clean:
all programs--accessories--system tools--disk clean [ and later disk defrag ]
choose os [ c ] to clean,wait,click ok [ twice ]

now go back and do disk defrag [ seleck anylize--run or ok ]

Prefetch Folder
my computer--local disk drive [ c ]--windows--prefetch
select view--select all--press delete key on keyboard

now--IF you have any protective programs [ anti-virus--anti-spyware ] installed,NOW is the time to run those.

once you are clean,return to sytem restore and turn it back on [ reverse above instructions ].

choose to create a new restore point,name it and you're done!

Vista:

vista is a bit different,yet almost the same.
getting to internet options is the same,so look at the instructions for what to do with XP above

disable system restore:
right click computer on start page list--select properties--select system protection--uncheck os [ c ]
REMEMBER TO RESET SYSTEM RESTORE AFTER YOU ARE DONE WITH VIRUS CLEAN UP AND CREATE NEW RESTORE POINT !

disk clean & defrag
control panel--perfromance,information & tools--click disk clean up
select drive [ c ]--ok--okclick delete files

disk defrag is on the same page along with disk clean except it's called advanced tools
