    Free spyware removers?
    My computer seems really messed up right now and I can't register for anything because I don't feel too comfortable now giving out information because I think this virus may steal it. Is there any free spyware downloads that don't cost anything to scan and protect your computer? Oddy, this website seems a lot larger than normal.. like font and everything! I didn't do anything to the computer either, so does anyone know of a free spyware download(s) to protect and get rid of this annoying virus? I keep having pop up bubbles from it saying like Critical System Warning and a bunch of other stuff underneath that title. Soo.... help!!!!

    I want it to completely remove my virus, which is called Personal Antivirus.. stupid of me to download it... is there any free programs I can download that protects my computer and gets rid of the virus? Not only scanning though. This virus steals personal information and I do not want it to take my passwords for accounts and such.

    I have the second one scanning right now. During the scan, does it get rid of my virus and protects the computer for viruses trying to get into my stuff?

    I personally use Avast. I don't know about those other two, but I've heard great things about AVG too.

    Avast has a boot scan that cleans the system without it being very active.

    The second one doesn't remove viruses but other things that could potentially slow down your computer. I recommend AVG first if you think its a virus, followed by advanced system care. Malwarebytes' as mentioned earlier would be another option to try.

    AVG is good, I also personally use spybot search and destroy, it's been around for a while but I still like it.
