There are lot of
Free Virus Scanner Downloads available online. These free software can
detect any virus that might have already saved into you computer hard
disk. Free Virus
Scanners operate by searching your hard disk for files
which might be infected by a virus. This method is never 100% secure,
since only known
viruses (or known virus patterns) are detected. If an
infection has been detected in a certain file, the virus scanner might
be able to clean the file, but very often this is not the case. In that
case, you can try another scanner to clean the file, you can try to
replace the
file or - as a last resort - delete it.However, if many
important operating system files are affected, it might be the best
solution to reformat the hard disk and install the operating system
from scratch.There are even viruses can not be cleaned by mere hard-disk reformatting. There
are several utilities available online for free download and use.

automatic updating via Internet. ClamWin Freeware, open-source anti-virus program for Windows. Comodo Anti-Virus Free anti-virus program for Windows. Cyberhawk
Protects against viruses, worms, Trojans and other spy ware, designed
to be a complement to your current anti-virus software. Cyber hawk does
not need to know anything about a virus before it can protect you
against it. This is because Cyber hawk looks at the behavior of an
infected program (instead of the contents of the infected file). Note
from the editors: after testing Cyber hawk we found that it generates a
lot of false alarms on legitimate software. Nevertheless we think that
this program can be useful provided you know how to interpret these
alarms. FProt Free anti-virus software for Linux, FreeBSD and DOS (personal use). Evaluation version for Windows. andyBits
Free for personal use. Virus ''scanner integrator''. After performing an
auto-search for installed virus scanners, it will scan your files using
all found installed virus scanners. This can be useful, since some
antiviral programs are good for one type of viruses, other programs for
other viruses. PC Tools AntiVirus Free anti-virus program + firewall for Windows. For more information contact http://www.freebyte.com/antivirus/#scanners
