My_Eggs Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Could someone please point me in the direction of a free virus removal and scan program? I fell for some dumb trick that I should have been smarter than, but long story short I'm pretty sure my friend got hacked again and me, thinking it was my freind on the account, trusted him and went to some dumb site. Anyways, all the programs I find on google end up scanning for free, but then when I want to remove the viruses it asks for credit cards numbers and junk. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out here. 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

champion Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If that doesn't work, try Avira Antivirus or Microsoft Security Essentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Eggs Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Deep Scan just finished and what do you know! A trojan was found, and guess what, it was from exactly where I thought it would be. I'm also pretty sure I know the kid that took my friends account, seeing as how he just did it a few days ago and solf my friends santas at minimum on the ge before my friend got the account back. Do you guys think this kid should get his [wagon] kicked? Cause I'm pretty pissed at him and havn't really liked him for a while now... 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

Sbrideau Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 AVG is pretty goodNOT! Detectionwise, AVG has been pretty bad for the last year and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Try Avira. And you shouldn't run a computer on the internet without an antivirus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Try Avira. And you shouldn't run a computer on the internet without an antivirus... No, you should. Then you are more careful about what you download/install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidi Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Try Avira. And you shouldn't run a computer on the internet without an antivirus... No, you should. Then you are more careful about what you download/install. Horrible advice. You can get trojans/viruses from visiting web pages. As for free AV's, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. I was very happy with that when I used it, wasn't obtrusive and wasn't a resource hog. I used Avast before that, ugly AI, obtrusive and hogged resources. However, if you're willing to pay for an AV, I cannot recommend Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 enough. It's an awesome AV, nice, easy to use UI, like MSE it didn't use many resources and didn't give you annoying pop ups.

Sbrideau Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 avast! is awesome tbh. ALways fully updated, easy to handle, catches everything. Actually, I used to think that, until I saw that the detection rates were low and that there was a [cabbage]load of false positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
