Default need a good free antivirus. PC infected

Hello, I have a virus. I used AVG and he found one, but after I reboot, the virus is back ...
I used also a link " trend micro " with a free scan. I used it few month ago, and it was great, but it seems to not work properly now ...

If you have a good free antivirus to sugger me.

Thank you

There's a thread at the top of the forum dealing with this exact topic. Sorry your machine got infected, but if you're not gonna search, please at least read the top 5 thread titles.

AVG or Kapersky

Then get:

spybot search & destroy
lavasoft adaware
zonealarm

Sorry Sam, but the thread you linked me is not at all exactly my problem.

Before and after is nothing new ...

Messiahkid or someone else, could you please tell me if Kapersky is free and really better than AVG ?

Else, I use Spybot. Lavasoft is not the same ? ( I don't know )
May be my question are all dumb, but each time I came here, I got some very good answers. I am confident to this forum.

Btw I guess I could find some good answers with many search, but do I have really need to search and don't post here ? And after 7 hours , are you sure the post you linked me where really here When I posted ? I am really confused Man )

To sum up, I wonder if Kapersky is free and better than AVV. And I wonder if Lavasoft make the same think as Spybot, if yes, is it better ?

Kaspersky has a free trial only. It is a pay-program. IMO, it is more effective than AVG and will get updated definitions sooner. AVG is pretty good tho.

Lavasoft makes Adaware, which performs the same function as Spybot Search and Destroy. Use both. Often one will catch something the other misses.
