For all of you that think Linux or its derivatives is virus free, your wrong. ALL operating systems and that includes linux can get virus, its just not as common.

Incidentially that includes APPLE o/s too. The first virus was created and spread across Apple II computers (it was called “Elk Cloner” ).

I always use:
All of these are free and the 2 I have not seen mentioned on this page yet are the Auslogics Disk Defrag and Registry Defrag. Check those out, they are free and quick and excellent programs.

-Revo Uninstaller (great and thorough Application Uninstaller)
-CCleaner (crap cleaner)
-AntiVir (virus)
-Malwarebytes (spyware)
-Auslogics Disk Defrag (Awesome, free, and quick Disk Defrag application
-Auslogics Registry Defrag (Optimizes OS registry and fixes errors with bad installs and uninstalls.

1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
2. CCleaner
3. ComboFix
4. Xoftspy
5. ATF Cleaner

My personal top 5

Ad Aware and and AVG are getting more bogged down with every new version. Ive seen hundreds of computer with Spybot that are infected beyond belief. Defraggler is a great tool that is definitely in my top 10. Cant say much about nCleaner because ive never heard of it lol.

A really great program is Advanced System Care. If you like Ccleaner, Glary’s etc you will like this program. There is the free program and the pro version, and both are great. Check it out, just click the downloads button and pick free or pro. Good luck.

I also use Avira it is lighter on your system and does better than the others. I see them in this order.
#1 Avira
#2 Avast
#3 AVG

The only disadvantage I have found with Avira is it does not scan e-mail but it grabs anything in the e-mail as soon as you open it.
