Is there a safe, free scan to clean up my computer without having to install it?
I use my computer for what I can only call General use. I log on to all the popular web sites that everyone else logs on to, so I expose my computer to all the usual threats that every other user is at risk from. For the last year I have protected my computer with 1.) The default Windows firewall. 2.) AVG 7.5 (Upgraded to 8 this week) 3.) Spybot Search and Destroy and 4.) Spyware Blaster. In the year I have used the above combination I have never had a single problem with either viruses or spyware. I have temporarilly downloaded several other free scans and none have found anything my existing software hadn’t already alerted me to and dealt with. Which proved that extra scans were not needed.The above security combination is a firm favourite with me, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I hope this answer helps you.
