My computer is acting funny, and I want to download something that'll get rid of the problem, or just scan my comp, like a free trial or something.
Avast Home Edition:
Avast home edition is free and effective, it protects your PC from infected webpages, scans your downloads and emails for viruses (AVG free does neither) and has built in anti-rootkit and anti-spyware, plus it gives you the option to run a boot scan, there are very few anti-virus's that can do this paid or otherwise and this is free.
Avast works for 60 days from installation after which you will need to register to get your free product key this is valid for a year after which you just register for another free key, so it always free.
I use Avast along side Comodo firewall both are free, light on memory and have been independently tested and proven to be more effective then big names like Mcafee.
Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
Comodo: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
People often recommend AVG but Avast is far better:
On AVGs official website it states that their free anti-virus software does not protect you from “poison” webpages or scan downloads and emails for viruses (Avast free edition does all 3), I've also tested both AVG and Avast using the EICAR test viruses, AVG allowed all the viruses onto the computer without a single warning Avast either blocked them instantly or shorty after preventing all from running, Avast is much lighter and offers far superior protection.

Anti-Spyware is a "run often" thing. Its fine to run one type, then another, just not at once. They do not continue to run, but complete their job and shut down.
Anti-Virus on the other hand run all of the time, protecting you by scanning every running process on your computer.
And Like inspectors, each thinks they know better than the next and will conflict with each other.

Is it just me or is the most pervasive and annoying form of pop up and spy wear all the junk that promises to eliminate them?
I wouldn't know... I have a Mac.

Rid Your Computer of Internet Speed Monitor
by Sara M. Schweiger
Internet Speed Monitor is malware that has been installed into your browser without your knowledge or consent. It is an especially annoying type of malware as it bombards you with Ads when you are trying to browse the internet.
You might think that uninstalling Internet Speed Monitor using Add/Remove Programs is a good idea. However, this will only be a temporary measure. The reason is that Internet Speed monitor can rejuvenate itself using any small file that the Add/Remove Programs processed failed to remove. Removing all Internet Speed Monitor files from your system’s registry will solve this problem. Keep in mind that working int he registry is not for the faint at heart.
