    I have to say the virgin stuff does the job, just moved into a flat and my flat mate has it on their computer. Ran hijackthis and runscanner and found nothing wrong. So just for fun went and put revo uninstaller on it in hunt mode stopped virgins startup and services, installed avira, superantispyware, malwarebytes, and pctools firewall. Ran all the tests and nothing found.Uninstalled want I'd installed with revo and stopped so things they had running at startup and all is fine.
  • AVG is a great and free anti virus software, personally I’d recommend that!!

    Have you any idea how Avast, Avira and AVG compare?

    I've recently started using avira and used pctool firewall to block the annoying pop up very satisfactory

    Never AVG. 7.5 was the last time I used it.!

    Aviras even better for finding viruses etc (And uses less resources)
