I'd agree i've had less problems with viruses since I got rid of AVG and switched to Avast (based on Stans recommendation a while back)

I switched to Avast after almost a year of AVG telling me the free version was no longer supported. Then it stopped updating. So out it went nd Avast has been happily running ever since.

Does Avast get rid of 'infections'

Spyware Doctor reckons 7 threats and 996 infections :/

Is there anything free that will get rid of them? Otherwise its a trip to the purple shop tomorrow.

No worries, when its done go in the options (usual right click jobby) and set it so it doesnt scan every day (because theres not really a need and it can slow the PC down a bit when its doing it) and make sure you get it to check for updates before you run the first scan.
