Just wanted to second Housecall. It''s always worked for me.

Good luck getting that virus off your computer.

My Norton Antivirus''s annual service agreement has expired, I''ve now purchased Norton 360 for 3 computers (I need coverage for two at least), and note it''s not an insignificant bite ($70?) to keep current annually, but have seen the expense as a necessity.

But, from the other recommendations on this thread...are these other products good enough for womb to tomb protection. For example, I had years earlier used McAfee and came to feel it was not up to snuff.

avg is as good as any other AV product and better than some.
It uses less system resources for the same level of protection as norton AV.
Windows Defender is a decent anti-spyware as is spy-bot search and destroy.
I run CA antivirus(The company I used too work for was a reseller so had to run it) and WD on my computer and install AVG and WD on home users computers(both free).
