This topic has a lot of good scanners (and also good suggestions, reading from its replies thumbsup.gif), but there has been problems. ermm.gif

My current scanner, McAfee, came with my computer. Anyway, a few days ago, my friend was downloading junk and my computer caught some trojans. Yes, more than one. stubborn.gif It said that it wasn't able to delete or even clean it. sad.gif Now it says that my trial has expired for McAfee.. even though it came with my computer. I don't get that part. huh.gif

Anywho, I've tried a lot of good scanners (as I've said) but to get to my point, the problems I've experienced are:

- Needing to REGISTERRRRR to be able to delete. pinch.gif
- Only able to find adware (I think for this, I might've downloaded an adware remover instead XD)
- Not able to detect the virus.

Is there any solution to this? xD I feel so noob asking this. Stupid computer. -.-

Try ClamWin http://www.clamwin.com/
However, if you're already infected, there is no way to be sure that your computer is clean without wiping the disk. I would personally move all of my personal files to a CD, thumbdrive, etc, and reinstall the operating system. Most people would rather not go this course, but if you don't you take the risk of remaining infected without knowing it.
