Using a friends laptop(modem connection, so it takes ages to do a search, sorry... I couldn't go back to using a 56k connection!) and I am trying to clean it up a bit.
I found a few questionable processes and files and though i have added a firewall,run spybot and cleaned up some stuff, I would like to have a thorough scan done.
so, any recommendations as to online Virus scans?
Cheers, Wipe709

you do realize it would take forever to do an online scan on a 56k :lol:
why don't you just download a AV :smilie4:

Online scanning does take a bit of time @ 56K, but it's not half as bad as you may think, muchspl.
I'm stuck with dialup, but I still recommend Trend Micro's Housecall.
I use it when I want a second opinion regarding virii.

Download AVG ANTI-VIRUS VERSION 6 (http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php) a small 3-5mb install file then run that every day/2 days. Never had a virus myself.

I also recommend using http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
first...because if you do have a virus...installing an AV might not funtion properly, you could corupt the AV files :devil:
