Question: Anyone knows free anti-virus scanners? (And that removes viruses also)? 

Answer: http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft  = "Microsoft Windows Security Center Antivirus Partners =  Free 12-month software subscription to CA's eTrust EZ Antivirus ."  \n\n  Run in safe mode to delete the infections, then disable system restore, reboot(restart) the pc, then re-enable system restore.\n\n+SpyCatcher Express - free spyware removal software = \nhttp://www.tenebril.com/consumer/spyware/spycatcher-express.php\n\nThe most important thing to keep in mind, regardless of which anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware and firewall you use is to keep it  UPDATED,  just as it is important to make sure you have all windows critical and security updates +  http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us\n\nNote:    The way I have mine set is to only notify me that updates are availiable, but to not download them automaticaly.  Then I can check to be sure I get just the ones I want.  I then click on "custom", and after the updates have been downloaded I look them over to see which ones I want, then disconnect from the net, disable firewall and anti-virus program, and then install the updates, and then re-enable the firewall and anti-virus programs  before reconnecting to the net.  \n\nhttp://www.dailyrotation.com\n                       \nhttp://komando.com\n\n\nCalendar Of Updates=  http://www.dozleng.com/updates/index.php?act=calendar\n\nhttp://www.vnunet.com\n\nhttp://www.virgin.net/technology\n\nwindowsecurity.com
