Thing is, that I already have an anit-virus thing and already scanned my WHOLE computer. I used AVG Free 8.5, not sure if its good though. The only virus that it ever found on my computer is Wonderking online... and it's not even a virus...

No antivirus can detect every virus out there.

adaware focuses on spyware/malware more instead of virus scanners focusing on a virus. i mostly use both avg and adaware

Floodlock · 08-30-2009, 08:01 PM

So I can use both at the same time? By the way, are you using the free adaware or paying for it?

I don't know why im so frightened to download it 0.o

It could be possible that you do have a malware. Try scanning with Malwarebytes and to make sure you don't have a virus, use avast, it may take longer, but it has a 98.9%? accurate virus reading, AVG is known to make a bunch of mistake.

yeah i use the normal free adaware. not plus version. just using it as a scanner now and then so its not always active like avg. if u dont trust it dont download it, own risk. but from what i heard its a good antispyware program
