Guest philp Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 I can't find it on their site if they do. But their stuff is available for free, so they may not offer an online scan. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/5280-virus-scans/#findComment-56385 Share on other sites More sharing options...

misery Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 using AVG 7.0's free program and also downloading their Virus remover program they offer on the site as well is all you need. AVG has yet to let me or i'm sure anyone else down who uses it. But i myself also still run the ocassional housecall scan.

cholla Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 I put this in the other post but thought I would put it here in case anyone wanted to try it. I decided to go to the Kaspersky site .Instead of a trial version I decided on the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Web Scanner Beta version 5.0.50.0 It is an online scan that works kind of like the Trendmicro scan.It was kind of slow but it didn't find any viruses in my PC.So I guess what I am using is keeping the viruses out.I just though Kaspersky might find one AVG didn't since it is supposed to be better.In my case it didn't find any which is great. Heres a link for the scan for those that are interested. http://www.kaspersky.com/beta?product=161744315 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/5280-virus-scans/#findComment-56448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted June 20, 2005 CID Share Posted June 20, 2005 This is another excellent web scanner by Computer Associates: http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx We (RR) generally send customers here when they need an online scan.
