Good Virus Scan

Post by Finewth69 »

Can someone tell me what a really good virus scaning software is, right now I am using Norton Internet Security.
I think there may be a virus on my computer because Norton is blocking random things from my computer, random trojans.
And oddly I came back to find IE open to some stupid ebay thing like a bid on trucks or something. So I am a little worried, if anyone can help it wud b appreciated.

I use McAfee - it's easy to use and pretty good as well.

Better than Norton is all I can say.

People say Nod32 is the best, but for some reason after a years worth of usage -- it never detected a virus. ppr(

i had that, thought it wasnt working, but it turned out i just didnt have a virus, and it isnt good to run more than 1 anti virus killer, so only use 1 antivirus :)
