So my computer got a bad virus and malware bytes is not getting rid of it all. Anyone have a suggestion of a good free Anti-Virus program.

This thing called "vista guardian" keeps popping up doing scans and telling me I have viruses. I know it's fake so if anyone could help me get rid of it that would be awesome!

Avira (AVG) is free as in beer, except that it gives you this popup window twice a day or so.

AVG is one of the worst pieces of crap out there... I really wouldn't bother with it. Try Avast or NOD32
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Is your malwarebytes up to date? Some viruses block it from updating which causes mbam to not remove the virus (obviously). If you already have a virus, getting an anti-virus program like AVG isn't going to do much for you.

Get malware bytes + spy bot S&D on a flash drive, cd, floppy, whatever.

Boot in safemode with networking.

Install them both, update, run, done.

AGGH FUCK NORTON. I am still trying to remove that shit from my computer because it came pre-installed... in 2006. Apparently the only way to get this bullshit out is to go into the registry and that scares the shit out of me. Do not get

I heard Avira AntiVir was pretty good

http://www.free-av.com/

If you have a bad virus you can always reformat
less headaches that way

I don't think AVG = Avira. For OP Microsoft Security Essentials is not bad, at least not as annoying as other AVs.
