AVG pro would be my personal choice, but other apps can run alongside to help out also. Use this AD link for other suggestions, there are nine pages to sift through..

With mcafee, you might need to use their removal tool, if you decide not to keep it. Go to the mcafee site or use the link below..

Take care with multiple firewalls, some will cause crashes and other hideous problems. Use the evaluation versions first to see if all sits well on your system.

Hope this helps.

No way! I disagree totally!

Antivir Free is the best free antivirus out there... look at the credentials:

And others but I'm too lazy to post them right now...

Best Regards :D

Hmmm... technically, both AVG and Antivir are better at removing trojans than Nod32, and both Dr. Web and Kaspersky are just amazing.
