I think my computer has a virus and I don't have a virus scanner.
Can anyone send me a link to either download a safe one or a free one that will work?
I'd really appreciate it!
Thank you <3 x

Heres a good one: Kaspersky (http://esd.element5.com/pimages/50198/kaspersky_internet_security_2010_trial.html)
Sign up for the trial and leave it to run for a little while. That should solve your problem :)

Kaspersky is a very good one. Although I'm pretty sure it's around $80.
AVG is good and free.
Honestly, the only two I've ever used. My protection from Kaspersky just expired however :( Getting it again today, hopefully.

Nah, everywhere i looked its about $39.95. But I just gave her a trial to get rid of her bug. The best thing to get is Kaspersky, but if theres a budget involved Connors rightly said AVG is pretty decent, although there are some other good ones too. However, I would avoid Norton, they have quite a few unseen loopholes a lot of the time. I had nothing but problems with it.

I've found that AVG works very well.
