IT friggin slowed down my computer and wouldn't let me open the internet. like a million warning popup things telling me that they found suspicious thread blah blah came up. So I had to delete it. Luckily it let me open up add/remove programs. So my problem is with pop ups coming up well they are like new internet pages that come up idk I think it may be a virus /spyware. anyone recomend any anti virus thats free? There was also a weird message coming up saying there could be suspicious virus/threats blah blah click yes or cancel I clicked cancel but the pop up wouldn't go away so I had to restart my computer what is with that? I read somewhere that AVG online scanner is not really a scanner at all its a fake website or w/e so I am not downloading AVG so don't recomend that. is the AVG online scanner the same thing as the antivirus program? here is the site saying its harmful or what not.

You can try Trend-Micro.com and look for HouseCall, their free on-line scanner for viruses. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

If you go to download.com and look for AVG Free, you'll find a safe copy to download. It's the best anti-virus for free.

However, if you have any anti-virus installed, make sure to delete it before downloading any other version or you will have problems.
