free virus scanners

[GermanSteve]

Does anybody know where to download a free virusscanner? I have been searching but did not find anything fitting.

I am in no way saying these will protect you from viruses....but they are free (you get what you pay for) but still better than none at all

You should find something adequate at one of these sites :)

This is a fantastic site and it's caught a few viruses that have made their way past my Norton. :)

Hope I did that right....

when you get there just look for the "free online scan" and go from there.

Like I said, it works better than what came with my machine. :)

I am a big Norton antivirus fan.....and have never had any viruses slip by it in all the years and hours of net time

I will add that i have enabled mine to 'Bloodhound'...which keeps and eye out for any suspicious behaviour....and i am religeous when it comes to keeping it updated...or buying the newest version..

But that is just me.....you use what you are comfortable with

The thing that worries me with free programs d/loaded off the net is that you do not know if the person that put it there has put any malicious code in it themselves....and it sits innocently on your machine..reporting merrily back to its creator :mad:
