I think my computer was recently infected with a virus, so I downloaded clamwin and ran it. It detected several infected files, and now, my question is: does clamwin remove viruses? I've also just downloaded avast! and will be running that as well. Could anyone also suggest any great free anti-virus/removers?
no it doesn't.clam win is the worst antivirus ever.use avast.and use malwarebytes antimalware(can be used with avast) to remove the stubborn viruses.
ClamWin is NOT the worst AV ever, but it does not monitor in "real time". In other words, it is not running in the background & guarding your system from infection. It only works if / when the user runs it. There are plenty of decent freebies available & everyone has their favorite. Have a look at AVAST!, AVG Free, Microsoft Security Essentials. Plenty of choices available at FileHippo:
Thanks for the suggestions!
