VirusLately my pc is being all f*cked up. So f*cked up that my anti-virus system doesn't work at all! Actually almost everything doesn't work but that's beside the point now... The only thing I can do is download a free anti-virusprogramme.. So I did.. But every goddamn "free" anti-virus progamme I downloaded, only scans and gives results.. If you wanna remove it you have to buy it! Now if I could afford it I would... Anywho back to the point... What I wanted to ask if anybody knows a free anti-virus programme that after it scans actually removes the infected stuff etc.? Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I have tried alot of things but it seems that I have no other choice than to re-format my pc..

Yeah somebody already gave me that one, but it won't open the site so I can't download it.. I have no other choice than to reformat my whole pc... But thanks anyway

Thanks but I think I have not much choice... I was planning to reformat it for some time now anyway..

you may want to reformat just in case, cause it sounds like you have some major problems, and w/o being there, it would be hard for me to clean your PC...however, you still need anti-virus software for the future...

aye, you just have to be more careful in the future, try going to the avg website after you format and if you still can't get it to d/l, let me know and I'll send you the files you need.

What's the virus name? You can usually get specific and free removal tools for specific viruses.

Couldn't you in theory use a program like Team Viewer to gain remote access to her PC and try to clean it up that way?

I had a similar problem with my wife's laptop and the free version of Mcafee worked fine.

Aye, I could get remote access to her pc, if she gave me permission.

Hi Duran,
You might want to try an online virus scanner like Housecall - I think they remove the virus for your as well:

For free real time monitoring and protection, you can try aVast! I'm finding it pretty good and it includes real-time monitoring. AVG used to have a free version, but now they've moved onto 30 day trails of their full versions

Hope that helps you out. Viruses suck big fat monkey balls.
