I just tried to use F-Secure Online but would not install on my system. I am using Vista Home Premium, is this the problem because it is not supported by this program?
No, should work w/o problems.
Are there any free scanners which will delete the viruses, besides F-Secure?
– btw Patrik i think you do a fantastic job on these forums!
BitDefender, Panda Active Scan, Trend Micro HouseCall. Looks here – http://www.myantispyware.com/online-scanners/

Kaspersky online scanner is Very good scanner.
If Kaspersky Online Scanner can’t remove threats, then what good is it ? I need another tool to find AND remove.

I gotta agree with Mike. Why would someone use Kapersky scanner when it only finds the viruses?? TM House Call is MUCH better.
James, Kaspersky online scanner have a very good detect ratio, You need use it for checking your PC.
You can to use free AVP tool (by kaspersky lab) to remove viruses, trojans, etc.
thanks kespersky…………
Free scanner is useless without the antivirus beside it is very slow when it scan from the online. I would rather use the full version or free trials version to speed up the scan process.
I have Kespersky anti-virus installed, will this detect and/or delete trouble files?
Eugene, yes. You can use the scanner with any antivirus.
good
The caspersky antivirus is the most better then other.
