Idea Free Virus Scanner found Virus

Hello:

I've been trying for the past two days to scan my pc with the online free scanner from Kaspersky and after 1:30 the program freezes and it just tells me it has detected 3 threats, but it doesnt finish the scanning. I've tried leaving it over night and I can't get it to get a complete scan. What else can I use to determine what viruses I have in my system?

I run Windows XP.

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Thank you,
Judy

Re: Free Virus Scanner found Virus

Hello -

There's a list of available online scanners in this topic:

PC Safety and Security--What Do I Need?

When running an online scan, be sure the resident protection apps are disabled, or conflict and hangs may arise.

I notice that you have many topics in the malware removal section. I'd strongly advise that everyone with access to your machines take more care when using the internet.

From our pre-posting sticky:

NEW INSTRUCTIONS - Read This Before Posting For Malware Removal Help

Please also note:

The intent of this free service performed by volunteers is to help remove malware from your machine, educate you on how it may have happened, and how to prevent that from happening again. To this end, we provide links to articles and tools which should make your visit to the Virus/Trojan/Spyware Help section of TSF a one time event. Please do enjoy the rest of Tech Support Forum as many times as you like!!

It is not our intent to repeatedly remove malware from the same member's machines.
