Download free anti-virus software from Grisoft AVG. Most Antivirus software is too expensive, especially for home users. The newest version of the popular AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is available for download. The free version is available to home users, while there is an more robust solution for home or office users that offers a free trial. Until products like Comodo Antivirus get up to speed, AVG Professional Edition for non-personal/home use is a good buy in our opinion, offering a $38.95/2 year subscription for a single user.

The updated version includes:

• increased scanning speed
• new event-history log
• added options for filename extension definitions
• additional improvements

As with any virus removal tool, using this one solution on already-infected computers is not usually completely effective. It is often necessary to use several tools, one after the other, to remove the all the viruses. Some other removal tools to try?

• BitDefender
• TrendMicro's Housecall
• Panda ActiveScan
