• Good (FREE) Virus Scanner/Remover?
    29 replies, posted
I've been having trouble updating Windows, and I've noticed that all of the recent security updates have failed. My guess is that it's obviously a virus, but my IObit Security 360 can't find the accursed thing. Any help?
Avast, AVG, Malwarebytes.
Will any of these conflict with with one another? Could I run a mass-scan with multiple scanners?
Most all AVs will conflict. Malwarebytes is only for malware, but I haven't noticed any conflicts. Avast! is territorial though, and I'm unsure of AVG.
Viruses count as malware, correct? (In Malwarebytes' terms?)
If you're confused just install avast and all will be good.
Windows Security Essentials is also a very good alternative, silent as hell, but very efficient.
Avast.
Be a man and buy Nod32.
Be a smart guy and don't waste your money
Microsoft Security Essentials.

Get Microsoft Security Essentials as your real-time scanner, and use MalawareBytes to do a full scan once a week. [editline]04:49AM[/editline] Also use common sense when downloading and visiting websites.
I saw this on the main page and only saw "Good (FREE) Virus". I wasn't expecting this I can tell you that much.

MSE is good. It runs flawless, and I haven't had a virus yet.

I use AVG Free, however avast is alright.
Get Microsoft Security Essentials and Spybot Search & Destroy and you'll be fine. (Both are free).
Sorry to bump this topic but does anybody have a link to the threat about comodo, i tried looking everywhere for it but i just can't find it.

Scan with Malawarebytes and then use Microsoft Security Essentials, never came across a situation where it didn't remove the virus.
