hi to every one
i facing lot of problems created by viruse in my laptop
due to using flash memory stick to internet pc and etc
ihav installed symentic 9 anti virus but not usefull
any one hv suggestion about best anti virus software
that dosnt slow the pc speed and does not take enough memory
 

anti hidden virus

Did you try Antivir or Avg?
Avg is free and light.
if you have symantec, you can update it, or download intelligent update from symantec website and then run it.
 

hidden folder+anti virus+usb

Try the AVG, is free and yet powerful.
Try check any suspicious file especially autorun file in ur memory stick, u can see the file by select the tool -> folder option -> vew -> show hidden files and folders. By right u shudnt have this kind of file and check if u have the hidden folder with long folder name (most of the char is in numberic). Delete this kind of file because most ot the time it is virus.

Also, if ur comp is infect by virus, there is always some common step to remove the virus

1) Remove all the temporary file, folder and cookie inside ur IE
2) update ur antivirus database
3)restart the comp in safe mode (by pressing f8, f2, f1 or delete which depend on ur comp)
4) do a fully virus scan, this may take long time depend on ur harddisk size.

If u know what the viruses name, it is even better, remember google is always ur best friend, try online search for the viruses description and and how to remove it.

*one more thing, u can always do a system restore first to see whether it solve ur problem or not, however it is recommended to do a system full scan after all
 

gpupdate autoplay option

Always disable windows autorun functionality. It's especially useful when you get rid of viruses after formatting C drive. Never ever open a drive by double clicking on its icon. Rather use the drop down box to access the drive.

To disable autorun, type gpedit.msc in run command box. Find "Turn off autoplay" setting in the system category and enable that for all drives. Then apply the changes by typing gpupdate /force in the run command box. Now, no new virus will enter into your system automatically as long as you are careful and do not run that by double clicking on it. Always search for autorun.inf, hidden files search enabled, in the usb stick and delete them. After deleting the file eject the usb and insert that again into the usb port.

Hope this helped.

Re: anti virus

The best one is MCAFEE.
 

Re: anti virus

I think AVG is better. Becasue it has rapidly updated virus database and it takes less memory.

Re: anti virus

I used to use avg free all the time but it flags up to many keygens now so I use bit defender free. its good
