Virus ScannersI decided to make an official virus scanner thread so people would stop making threads like HeLp KeLlOgGeR!!! Or ViRuS!!!†So if anyone needs help removing a virus they can come to this thread and seek help from others. In addition I was thinking we could make a virus scanner list so if someone needs to know some names of good virus scanners they can run through the list and find some they like. WARNING: Never get Norton Anti-Virus. It sticks on to your computer. The only thing I have succesfully removed it with is MoveOnBoot.

Finally, I wolud like to say if you are still using Internet Explorer then come out of the stone age and get Firefoxtoday.
Its also wise that after you have downloaded some things and you see changes in your computer to run a full scan overnight. Full scan is better than quick scan because quick scan passes alot of files and folders.
haha, winN00bz > Linux ftw, I've pwned many Windows viruses in my time, and counting. I never have to worry about running Windows executables.
Linux has absolutely no compatibility with anything at all, that is why you use Java to write programs instead of VB6. Java probably required 2 to 3 times as much code.
