Title: AntiVirus app recommendations
Post by: moot on December 27, 2005, 06:38:54 AM
Got infected by a computer on the network.
MS AntiSpyware doesn't seem to see it, but I looked around and all the clues point to it being W32/Wukill.

Is there any free software that would clean this up?
Otherwise, can I just run in safe mode and delete it? Or would that not be enough?

The home version is 100% free and IMO better than anything you'll ever pay for. All updates are free as well.

There' also a free on-line clean-up:

two more freebies; both great:

AVG Free at http://free.grisoft.com/

Clam AV for Windows: http://www.clamwin.com/

AVG Free is comparable to Norton AV. Clam is a foreground scanner. Both are excellent.
