I got called to a friends house today who wanted me to take care of a virus for them. I installed AVG and I decided to try that all-in-one anti-spyware program since it was free. The programs found the virus just fine, but couldn't take care of it. I'm not sure what the name of it was... but whenever you would search and click on one of the listed sites, it would forward you to a porn site search engine type thing. Quite annoying, they're very religious.
TheReverend, have you ever had a virus that AVG or Spybot (which was included in my all-in-one program) could not find, or at least could not take care of? I've had about two or three experiences like this with AVG.

Yes, but only instances of that AFTER the fact. As in, install AVG to try and fix an already installed virus. I'm a good web surfer, so I've never had anything big try to hit my computer as far as I know. But I do have roomies that use the computer often, and that's why I have it do a scan and destroy everynight
Basic answer = the combination of the two has never failed me yet.
How ya doing, buddy?
