    Default Virus protection

    I suspect i've picked up a virus with the file name TIRSMILE. I've tried to delete it but to no avail.

    Any suggestions for a free virus eliminator or should I just go for Nortons 360?

    There a few available, one I use on an old PC logger is Kaspersky Free or you could try one of their paid versions on a 30 day free trial but I’m unsure about any trial limitations.

    Trend micro will do a free scan of your computer over the WEB. I’ve used their products for years and never had a problem.
