Title: Anti virus/anti spyware help.
Post by: MortifiedocAlot on January 18, 2009, 05:48:21 PM

So I already have a AVG anti virus and anti spyware along with Avast anti virus and I still seem to have something that neither of them can detect thanks to FPSbanana.com.

So I'm here to ask for a good anti virus and a good anti spyware software recommendation.

I like Spybot Search and Destroy for anti-spyware stuff.
Windows Live One works pretty well (only one that fixed my friend's computer today).
I like bullguard antivirus.

If you have something relatively nasty, try running combofix (just google the name, and you'll find a lot on it). combofix kills all the really nasty viruses, considering it's pretty much a collection of programs designed to kill individual viruses, as far as I can tell.

As a serious post:

     All the ones that Bobbias said are very good.

As a funny post:

     Get Megaman, Protoman, AXL, Zero, and X....even though MM and X are the same.

Thanks, I'll download Spybot and get rid of AVG.
