Computer Help?
Can someone recommend a good (and preferably free) antivirus program? I currently use Windows Defender and Symantec, and I think my computer is infected with something that's messing with them. Symantec quarantined a bunch of Trojans a while back, and ever since then it freezes if I try to open up the quarantine folder or run updates that affect quarantine. It doesn't find anything new on scans, though.
Windows Defender will literally scan all day without finishing (and never find anything). Today I left my computer on for 15 hours as an experiment, and it scanned for that whole time, spending the majority of that time in the temp folder. I shut my laptop and it started over when I opened it. I kept on eye on it while I was doing other things, and after about twenty minutes it randomly started over and starting scanning from the beginning again.
I keep my computer updated, so I don't think both programs would go wonky like that unless something was messing with them. I never had any trouble with them before the Trojan infection.
Edit: Oh God, there are 1832 items in quarantine. No wonder it freezes. How do I fix this? D:
