What if your anti-virus gets disabled or expired and you don’t have software to scan for viruses, spywares and graywares what would you do?
This happens a lot even to my friends which call me every now and then asking for advice.
I always tell them go online and search for free online scann. They found some but are they really good ?
Here is the list of websites I have tested my self with new viruses and old viruses as well as for spyware.

Trendmicro - Cool website little bit slow but it works. It took me about 3 hours to scann 200gb hard drive
Kaspersky - Finds all kind of viruses and also spyware but it does not remove them, it shows you where they are located at. I would recommend this only to people with some good pc knowledge
BitDefender - This is one of my favorite virus scanner, it will work on Internet Explorer but not for Firefox (I am Firefox Addict!)
Free Anti-Virus Software:
Here are two most powerfull virus scanners that are offered for free and I recommend to all my friends that don’t want to purchase antivirus scanners like Panda, Nod32, Norton etc..
- Avast - Fast and free we like that all, this particular antivirus finds almost every virus there is.
- AVG - Free antivirus software that is very good but takes about 2-3 hours to scan everything, It saved a lot of my friends from getting their PC ripped off by Best Buy GeeK Squad
