Microsoft Security Essentials is a very good AV.
Also Hiren boot cd is very good for situations like this.

BTW, there are certain combinations of Anti-virus programs that are actually able to work with each other without conflicting.Skyline969 said:
For example, there was a PC magazine I read that recommends the use of AVG and ThreatFire at the same time (both with live protection enabled). They work together because they use different methods of detecting viruses (AVG is using a virus signature database, while ThreatFire monitors the behavior of programs). I used to use this combo, but I didn't really like it because ThreatFire has issues with some programs, and it has some issues with installing things.

Yeah, it works pretty well for free anti-virus, it has all the functionality of a paid one (well, "paid" one). I've been using this along with AdBlock Plus and NoScript on Firefox and I've been virus free ever since.
Yup, started using it myself some days ago. I'm still not telling people to use it because I want to test it for a bit longer, before actually advising it over AntiVir (which I used for years without problems)Guild McCommunist said:

Yeah I've been using this as well, definitely seems to be pretty good for a free AV but just to warn people it does check to see if your copy of Windows is authentic, luckily my pirated version of Windows 7 passed the check.raulpica said:Yup, started using it myself some days ago.

1 - System restore will not remove infections. In fact infections often hide inside system restore in order to come back and get you when you restore to that point at a later date. Any of you actually read what system restore itself tells you when you first start it up? :|
2 - We have a sticky in the computers section with much better advice than was given in this thread.
3 - Just because you don't see an infection doesn't mean one's there. Most of them (except the ones that try to scare you into giving their credit card number) will purposely remain hidden because if you know they're there, you'll try to remove them.

Good luck on the Google redirects. I have been a victim of this a few times (currently am) and no scanner I have used is able to detect it. There are so many variants that it is hard to get into on how to uninstall it manually even.

Really? I used that a couple years back, and I had a couple of bluescreens. Maybe they've changed in a couple of years, but when I had it I was just begging for trouble.YayMii said:

True that. MBAM's been working pretty well against it but i know the virus is still there.
@raulpica
