Defense+ in Comodo dont even let any program inadvertantly modify your registry. Avira + Comodo rocks thats why. .

Avira with any registry guard utility is an excellent option..
but if u got infected, pl scan registry with anyother AV..
 
NOD32 ver 2.7 FTW!! :)
But if you ask me, you need common sense to prevent viruses from entering your PC. I mean, if you dont go looking for trouble, your PC wont fall into trouble :wink:
That, and I also use NoScript on FF for added protection :D

Download and run "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" (its free). One of the good A'virus programs. Be sure to update it before running. :)

There's no option - Antiviruses suck!!!

In Windows, just use a limited user account, use NoScript + AdBlock Plus in Firefox or block scripts in Opera and use a Firewall-say Comodo. Disable Autorun. It's sufficient.

Attachment not working. Upload it on imageshack and post the forum thumbnail code here.
Try booting in safe mode and then running your anti-virus and anti spyware scanner

You will need a paypal or credit card if you want to purchase online. Or you can buy the retail version. But may require online activation.

Avira's cleaning really sucks. it cant even deal properly with popular worms like Kiddo. And its annoying as hell..imagine playing Fallout 3 and every 30 mins avira window popping up reminding me to update databases!

you are right...i thought i am the only one experiencing umbrella popping up even if there is no rains haha...it is damn annoying as hell. Can you imagine every morning whenever i open my pc in the office..it stops me a while waiting for the umbrella to do its job. No trojans, No worms, No Virus, and most importantly no rains at all
