Hey guys and gals, my computer is swarming with viruses and so on and I REALLY need to get rid of it all. Just last week I got the MSBlast virus AGAIN. I am trying to get rid of it but all the antivirus software is expensive and I'm as cheap as chips so I want a free program! I've tried Spybot Search And Destroy but that doesn't seem to work on my computer. I downloaded it twice but even after leaving it running for 4 hours once it just scanned half way then stopped and wouldn't delete any. Grrr!!!

Any of you know any programs to help? A link would be great too. Thanks in advance :D

One you get rid of the worm you'll want to run adaware, spybot search and destroy and download and run AVG. (Someone gave links below)

If you can't get them to run and download then try this - [URL]http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan/[/URL] its a free online virus checker - No need to download anything.

That's because of Msblast. Download the virus killer from another computer and copy it to disk/CD; as soon as it boots up, run the killer. Then you can progress, hopefully.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there McAffee (sp?) Antivirus available for free from SR?
