So, anyone who knows probably knows I'm not a 'PC person' ('cept for the occasional edifying pixel slaughter), so faced with a Pc problem, I'm outsourcing. Can anyone suggest good, preferably free, virus eradication software?
I'll owe a drink to the person who comes up with the best option :)

But anti-virus software is not something you can really afford to skimp on.
Make sure you get something against adware as well, because that can be just as bad. Try Ad-Aware or Spybot Search & Destroy.
Viruses will merely cause severe inconvenience by mass-mailing themselves and overloading your gateway, and pissing people off. Spyware can trash your computer, and sometimes the only answer is to wipe it and rebuild.

Not my PC, and I'm not the only user, which kinda sucks on the whole concientious use issue. It belongs to the Woman Kate is renting from, and I said I'd put a feeler out, make myself look useful while I'm free-loading here.
Also, she doesn't have all of her install discs; it was my first suggestion :/

I find I don't have the need though.
