Anti-Virus Software
8 Answers
Hi All,
I've got a PC at home that I've had for years. It has no internet access.
I've gone on the internet several times and downloaded stuff to my memory stick, and then downloaded it to my old PC.
I think somewhere along the line I've downloaded a virus to it, since I have a few minor problems with it.
Can someone give me a link to some free anti-virus software that I can put on my stick and then install onto my PC, so that I can give it a clean? Everything I've tried requires internet access.
Since you are all stars, and someonr will give me an answer, thanks in advance.

The trouble is all anti virus and other security software need access to the internet to download all the latest virus "fixes".
If you just download and install anti virus software like MSE or malwarebytes and don't connect it to the internet to update it with the latest fixes then it will only be searching for "old" viruses and not new ones so may well miss the virus on your computer.
