Can anyone recomend a good free anti-virus, I've got Trend but I want to have a second one just in case. Plus I'm not sure if Trend got rid of the Trojan Horse virus I had earlier.

Sometimes there is no solution because there was never a problem to begin with.

Viruses are a type of malware.

You want to use a combination of regular virus scanning and regular Spybot scans.

Malware covers a lot of different things.

Spybot will take care of almost everything that your antivirus doesn't.

Okay good... I think that should clean up the mess then that my brother started... especially since I've got Spybot, Trend Micro, and Windows Defender.
