yes, it's damn good. It found 45 infected files on my system that neither Norton or Trojanscan found. I am using Panda along with the rest of the tools, not instead of

You turn "system restore" off by selecting Properties of My Computer, use the "System Restore" tab and turn it off. You must restart the computer to clean out the "restore" files. You can now scan with AVG to see if your system is clean. Many times it is a good idea to use AVG's scan while in the "safe mode"(usually you tap the F8 key during startup, some computers use F2 or another F key) to ensure he files are not being "used". Panda's on-line scan and Trend Micro's "housecall" are two of the best on-line scans there are. Take care and all the best!

Robyn,

Once you have cleaned out System Restore....don't forget to turn it back on again.
