Unless you know what the malware is I can't really help.
AVG free is perfectly good.
But the best protection is common sense. Dont open an email or follow a dodgy link and you will be fine. 99% of infections have to ask for your permission to install themselves.
The biggest security hole in any computer is the user!
Ok cool.... so in a bit im going back to previous version of windows before update and hopefully that malware scan tool should run.
Its impossible to get malware from just browsing someones twitter right? (no links clicked or anything installed).
Moved all my coins off to safety but randomly.... browser shut down, home page was changed(wtf) and something popped up saying its found malware - and i should click to run.... something called linksy? or link something.... anyway i didnt click it but it looked legit
