Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Stupid computers. Hates them, hates them precioussssss.

OK, maybe I just hate this one :p

My copy of AVG Free stopped working. I uninstalled and tried re-installing it from the file I originally installed it from. It's corrupted, says my PC, bugger off and find another download! So I did. And every.single.one refuses to install. Good grief, they can't all be corrupted! *glares at PC*

So I rummaged and tried another free virus program - and that misfired so badly it took me 15 minutes and 3 reboots to uninstall it! It kept finding a virus called something like XPACK -SR/something.XPACK and kept finding it, over and over and over and over and over again. So I'd keep getting the alert box telling me "Look Mummy, look what I've found!" which buggered everything up nicely and meant it was a pain in the arse getting anything else to run.

I've got it uninstalled now but clearly I have a virus and, it would seem to me, it's fubar'ing my anti-virus downloads. Can anyone recommend another free anti-virus program? Something a tad more robust?
