Sorry, I had the paid version of AVG. I don't mind if it's paid or free. But I'll have a look at Avira & Avast. At the moment, I'm trying the free trial version of BullGuard.

I looked at MS Essentials, after Darth mentioned it the other day. But there was something about it I didn't like - can't put my finger on it. (I know, I'm being fussy )

Oh yeah, I treat my pc like a cheap lady of the evening, WHAT OF IT?

Glad it picked up those nasties for you, Luby Lu.
And cheap ladies of the evening need taking care of, too.

There must be a lot of bad hidden stuff in those... There always is with MS.

Microsoft used to do a security package called OneCare. That was PERFECT! I LOVED that package. I haven't found anything I like as much as that one. But they stopped making it\updating it\supporting it a couple of years ago. *cries*
