Recommend Antivirus Softwares

I've tried everything: NOD 32, McAfee, Norton, Kaspersky, but none of them really worked effectively in cleaning the viruses. I've ran out of the names of the softwares, so I want you all to recommend me some effective AV softwares.

 

Ad-aware?? You have to pay for that though.

 

AVG is good.

 

Webroot Spy Sweeper does a pretty nice job.

 

Ad-Aware and Spy Sweeper are not antiviruses, they're anti-spyware.

Rhyme Sayer, if NOD32 can't clean it, chances are format is the only solution.

 

Ah yeah, that's right. *headslap* thanks for pointing that out.

 

Ah that's what I dreaded. Oh well, guess I'll just format it.

 

What's the exact problem? Who knows, maybe there's a last resort or something, haha.

 

Well I can't view my hidden files and update my iPod anymore. These are the two major problems so far.

 

Hum, you sure it's a virus? Could be anything from corrupted system files to hard disk mechanical problem or whatever.

 

AVG and AntiVir will server you well, both are free

 

Well I've fixed the iPod problem. And yeah I'm pretty sure that its a virus. I've been doing a little research over the net to find the solution to the hidden files problem and discovered that it's because of a virus named RavMon.

@palingenesis: Thanks. I'll look into them.
