best anitvirus

i have got norton internet security 2005 and i thought it was working fine not letting any virus in then i got a dialer trojan and a trojan horse

when i try to do a full scan it does not pick up the virus but i always have these things in my task bar saying computer is infected

i just download AVG free this minute will it work

please help

 

you have norton internet security installed right

1. Download AVG
2. Disable Internet
3. Disable Norton Anti-virus (you have to do this because avg and norton anti-virus could conflict with each other so disable this DONT TURN IT BACK ON! unless your avg anti-virus is off)
4. Install AVG Free
5. Restart Comp
6. Done!

 

@iampolly,

Plextor is correct about the software conflicts, you don't want that, but this is a thread discussing AV's, if you need help w/ your malware problems start a thread in windows spyware & virus forum, good luck.

 

ok i have done that and performed a full system scan with AVG
and AVg removed the virus to the virus vault. i then emptied the virus vault and things were ok.

but then in my task bar i still get virus alerts from windows
and pop ups

what should i do?????

i got avg on my computer and it work fine

 

try installing avast! and downloading a spyware program like Defender... you may have spyware which is causing problems... and AVG cannot detect spyware at all...

 

hehehe, i guess i'm back again. just one question: once i've done a full system virus scan with avg free, and if it has detected some virus, will it automatically delete it, or will it put it into this vault thingie? coz everytime i do a scan, there's always one trojan virus (whatever it was called) and i can't seem to delete it! and btw, how do you delete stuff in the vault? thanks in advance! (sorry if it was such a noob question)

 

Go into virus vault, and empty it.
