There are several good free anti-viruses out there I use AVAST! on this computer and I use AVG on my laptop there are also several good scanners on line my favorite being Trend Micro's Housecall, I use it weekly. It has never discovered anything AVAST has not however it has found a few that AVG did not get. In case you are not aware there are a few other programs one might want to considering installing and they include Spybot, AdWare, SpywareBlaster, Ewindo and or A-Squared with all the above insure you meet the requirements prior to installing and once installed update and run them vigilantly As far as the toolbar at the bottom of the screen you talk about, can you give us some more information on it and what you have done so far to remove it. I hope this helps Bob The Phillips Family <phillips1129@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Is there such a thing as a good anti-virus program that is free for download? Does anyone know where one might be found? Also, I had downloaded some website backgrounds and somehow ended up getting this extra junk on my computer. I have deleted as much as I can, but I still have a toolbar at the bottom of my screen that I cannot get rid of. Anyone know how I might be able to get rid of this?
