I downloaded StopZilla, and it says I have 66 virus's but when I run AVG (with the latest updates), its says I have none. Is stopzilla pulling my leg, or is AVG not working...

I only Batch if possible, 2000 more lines of code, oh well.

Does it give you any kind of rundown of what viruses they are? A report with details of names and files that we can perhaps match to known viruses?

I haven't used StopZilla personally, but it's well known that many so called anti-virus programs detect phantom problems to encourage you to splash out on their premium product. This may or may not be the case.

What problems have you been noticing with your computer though? I find it hard to picture 66 viruses being present if you haven't noticed some obviously peculiar things happening on the computer itself!

three VUNDO. H Trojan Viruses, in my registry

one SYSTEM POLICIES DISABLE REGISTRY TOOLS Hijacker in my registry,

and 62 Corrupted host files.

I think I would notice things like this.
