this is a free program that usually will catch anything bugging your system. Im not usually a fan of free anti malware programs cause usually they can be just as bad as the bugs themselves, but I looked at alot of places and they all reccomended this one. Ive had it a while and its never given me issues.
Be careful...
I just got a trojan off deviant art and of course with my luck it coincided with my antivirus expiring. So now I have the blue screen of death and constant rebooting on my laptop. Its not the first time I've had virus threats from DA, but normally my antivirus catches it.
So I'll be back if and when Guy can fix it for me!

Microsoft has introduced a new security suite called Microsoft Essentials. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=e1605e70-9649-4a87-8532-33d813687a7f
It is free at the moment! I have uninstalled McAffe on my computer and replaced it with Essentials.

I have Avast which has been awesome and is free...when I remember to reregister. Guy looked at it, and its buried deep in my DAZ folders. He wants to fix it just because he thinks he can (he is a computer technition by trade) but also said it might be so deeply embedded that I'll always have problems so formatting might be easier. But first I have to get a Windows xp disc. But either way it doesn't look like there's going to be any art or gaming from me for a while!
Can't even surf the net on mine, and even playing in full screen gets interrupted every 5 mins. Can't use this comp all the time, it isnt mine :(

Yep. Yesterday AVG Free told me a threat was blocked and that was right after I clicked on a page in DeviantArt. Pretty sure it's in one of their ads.
Edit: Was just looking at DeviantArt just now, and I got another warning. X_x

So sorry this happened to you. I ended up crashing my machine (not virus... just stupidity) and we just got me up and running. Hope yours is fixed soon!

Aye its fixed now, Guy formatted it for me :) It was quicker than trying to dig out the trojan which embedded itself deep in my DAZ folder :(
My hard drive was almost full anyway, so I won't redownload DAZ because I'm getting Poser 8 soon, and when I get that then I will redownload all my stuff. But until then, no art rom me :(
