Heck yes, Kaspersky is my favorite antivirus. It found things that couldn’t be found by Norton or AVG

Free virus scans are great, but just get Adaware, MalwareBytes or AVG and have a solid program running to avoid the virus if all possible.

Good list of online scanners. Onec you find a virus though, you need to make the correct decesion in cleaning it off as these online scanners cannot, or atleast can't do it well if they start offering it. Also be careful of what online 'virus protection' you use, as there are pleanty of fakes out there, this list is good though. If you ever have any questions ask us at: Computer Repair Omaha Nebraska or Computer Repair Lincoln Nebraska

In response to Marisha Adams: on the contrary, I find it a great thing that almost everything can be done online these days! Of course it’s going to take a little bit more work, imagination and innovation on our parts, but it’s all about ease for the consumer. Anything that makes their lives easier, we support! =)

I really found Kaspersky and Bitdefender good tools, but they are not enough to give full protection.
the performance of Viruses and spyware removal tools in the same range from all companies.

Thanks for the list. I usually use Panda and Kaspersky online scanners. Though there is nothing like an anti-virus with real-time protection and those online scanners can be used as an addition to that. There are a lot of great free ones like Avira and avast (personally I prefer Avira).

Thanks for the additional links! I didn’t know about Eset, will try it to see how it compares to the other scanners I have been using (a friend just crashed her computer, damn smiley downloads )

Btw I have been coming regularly for about a month now but haven’t seen that many updates. Keep posting, you have a good informative site :]

@Maxim,

Thanks for the additional links. I agree, that real time protection is crucial (something you can’t get from doing an online scan).
