Antivirus Solutions for all, NOT A QUESTION?

I'm seeing so many antivirus questions here so I'd thought I'd share what works for me(all of these are free). I run Active Virus Shield from AOL, AVG anti-rootkit, McAfee anti-spyware, Active Virus Shield anti-spyware, and SUPERAntiSpyware. Please answer with links or suggestions of more I could do to protect my computer. P.S:I'm running the latest Firefox edition.



Antivirus Solutions for all, NOT A QUESTION?anti virus scan



Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything.



To format you computer and reinstall is the last option.



Turn off system restore before you boot up in safe mode with network to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.



To get in safe mode tap F8 when booting you computer.



Choose "Safe mode with network".



Go to Start 鈥?Run - type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).



Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.



When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.
