What is the best virus cleaner out there. I have Norton Anti-Virus and it keeps telling me I have a virus. I then run Norton and nothing cleans up. It starting to really effect my computer. So I was just wondering if there were any good suggestions.

Well i uses Trend Micro Office Scan http://www.trendmicro.com its free but the only problem with it is you have to update it once a week by going to the website and downloading the patch. but it is a good virus checker.

Well, it is a personal preference but I feel that McAfee is better than Norton but truth be told, all mainstream virus protection programs have problems because hackers write the viruses to get around them. As for your clean up issue try:

Spy Bot Search and Destroy
www.safer-networking.org/

Spyware Blaster

Spyware Doctor
http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/

Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition
http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

Those revome, as the names suggest, spyware and adaware but unless your computer is crashing, I'm geussing Norton has prevented viruses and that it is spyware or adaware. If it is a virus, then this stinger by McAfee has done well for me in the past:

Those should all be free. Hope that helps.

i use the adaware along with a medly of other stuff. Id tell you more but im not the one that handles security on the comp.
