Okay, so i've been using AVG free edition. A lot of people say that it's the best free virus scanner.
I think otherwise.
I needed a file from a friend. She gave me a USB with the file. Paranoid of viruses, i scanned it with AVG. AVG detected a Trojan/worm, and then deleted it.
I scanned the USB again to check if it was safe. The test revealed that "no threats found". Note that i am using the most updated version of AVG free.
I double click the USB and BOOM. Norton Antivirus, which always runs in the background detects a virus! It says it sent the file to quarantine, but apparently it's too late; the norton notification hangs.
From that moment on, everytime i start my pc, something bad happens.
I need a good scanner. I've tried everything (safe mode, system restore, command prompt, attrib -s -h -r., scan in safe mode)
this autorun.inf won't leave, and it's getting worse.
send me a link. I don't want to reformat.

Well you kinda need to purchase it. Its called Systematic Norton. It is the best. I have it on my computer and it blocks everything that is bad. Trust me. I went to a site that was harmful to my computer and it told me and would not let me go to the site unless I really wanted to. So I suggest you just pay for it and get it. Here is the link that talks about it.
