I find web-based virus scanners untrustworthy and a waste of time. I have a couple of live cd based virus scanners. the live cd's are linux based (aver and bitdefender). give me a shout if you need some help. -Eric 623-399-5635 On Feb 18, 2011, at 10:53 AM, Michael Havens wrote: > I just completed a virus scan with avast and it says there is nothing there. I don't know if I should believe it though. When I run a scan from a website it says there are things on the system and then I need to purchase their product to clean it. I don't know if I should believe them either. Who should I believe? > > On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 9:48 AM, Michael Havens wrote: > Well, I'm moving to Lima, Peru in April (to be with my wife and baby) and my Windows laptop just has virii galore in it (I think). I need a new laptop! If I could bring my desktop computer I would but I don't think they would consider it a carry-on if I did. I hate to be a beggar but does anyone have a spare one I could have? Or perhaps someone could clean it for me. I have avast! installed on it (and I installed after a fresh system install) but that hasn't seem to help at all. > Let me know! > -- > :-)~MIKE~(-: > > > > -- > :-)~MIKE~(-: > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
