I wanna kno that many virus spread thru of USB devices…which antivirus is suited for removal of virus from USB once they are insserted???plz help em out?
Answer:
There are a few choices when it comes to security, mainly in the AntiVirus department. Some very good, free anti-viruses available to download are:
1) AVG 8 AntiVirus. Easiest interface to use, very fast scanning and doesn't lag your personal at all. Only has a 78% detection rate, but catches the most harmful of viruses. If you're a normal home user, you're not in too much danger of higher level viruses and this is the AV for you:

2) Avast! 4 AntiVirus. Smaller, sleeker skin, average scanning speed, but reports a lot of safe files as viruses, so you might need to watch out for that. 78% detection rate, but a lot more complicated than most other free AVs. Use this if you are handy with a computer and you know what needs to be scanned:

3) Avira AntiVirus. Easy layout, which even the most basic of users can navigate. Incredibly fast scanning, with a 90% detection rate. Not as easy on the eyes as other AVs, and you need to know what you're doing to get the more advanced features, but it is definite a candidate:

Personally I use AVG, but only because I go for looks. If you’re paranoid about viruses then the only real option is Avira. But if you just want normal protection, then any of the three will do it for you.
And for any spyware problems, get SpyBot - Search and Destroy:

Also, for protecting your personal info and files, use Ad-Aware 2008 Free Edition:

All of them are free, as powerful as paid programs, like McAfee and Norton (which only has a 6% detection rate!), and don't use up as many resources.
Just boot into Safe Mode (Press F8 when turning on the computer) and run full scans.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
Because free programs are never totally as secure as the programs you are paying for.
Therefore I always suggest not to install either AVG free or Avast free, but one of those 2 in combination with 2 other programs.
AVG free

or
Avast free

Then the 2 programs you should install togehter with one of the above.
Threatfire is an anti virus, that can be installed next to any other anti virus program on the same computer

There is a lot of mal ware you’ve to protect your pc against.
This is a very good program, that absolutely runs in the background

Installing these 3 programs, won’t use any extra RAM or CPU usage.
Your personal will be very well protected and it does cost you nothing
Answer:
AVG can do what you’re asking for.
