    Hmm
    Ad-Aware
    McAfee - Not free, Unless... You get Comcast, AOL (Virus Scan Only) I think Netscape and Netzero have it too...
    Stopsign
    Some traffic somethin' or other... Free firewall...
    Norton Antivirus - don't think Norton is free either, but it's probably cheaper than McAfee, considering it's not as good.

    Um I screwed up with regcleaner and now I can't open any programs, including my computer and control panel. I have backups, but I can't open regcleaner. Any way to fix this (I can't figure out how to restore either).

    You need a firewall, an antivirus, and an antispyware/adware.

    I use Avast (antivirus/some firewall), Zonealarm (firewall/some antispyware/antivirus), and ad-aware SE.

    It was a Trojan Horse lurking on the site. It collected other viruses and adware.
