I JUST GOT A TERRIBLE VIRUS! do any of you know a good anti virus that i can download for free??????? pleasee?

Question

i just got a very bad infection. actually it was my boyfriend that put it on here. anyways, he got it from a web site where you watch movies for free, he downloaded something called active x ...so he could watch the movie live. anyways, we ended up getting 28 trojan horses, and every virus i have is either high risk or very high risk. 

so far i have run, spyware blaster. it got off nine problems, and spybot search and destroy, and it got off 50 problems, but i still have the viruses on my computer. one of them is logging onto enternet explorer and trying to download a fake anti virus by itself. yeah
its bad. 

so my question is, do you all know of a good anti virus that is free, that i can download and get this shhhhhh off here??!!??!?!??! please please please!

thanks so much yall. i will rate all of yall up just for tryin

You may be looking at a reinstallation of Windows. However, try this when running your AVG virus scan:
Firstly - turn off System Restore (this is how the pests come back) - right click on MY Computer - click properties - click System Restore tab - put a check mark in "turn off System Restore"

Secondly - restart the computer and at the black screen before booting - continue to tap the F8 key. By using your arrow keys choose 'safe mode'. Hit enter.
At the operating system (XP?) - hit enter. 
Check yes to continue in safe mode.
Run a full virus scan - taking the recommendations.

You need Active X to use many features of the internet, but you also need to be sensible with it.  Any site that is offering too much for free is likely to be giving you something like those trojans.

NEVER use the internet without a functioning anti-virus and firewall!  Then learn the right settings to use so that they don't block everything because that can be done, too.

The AVG anti-virus many have mentioned at http://www.grisoft.com/ is very good and updates are free, too.  The company I work with uses the commercial version for the LAN and it works very well.
