Clean up infected computer from viruses
- by ripper234
I have a computer which had AVG Free installed from day one.
After several months of operation, it starts detecting viruses and trojans all the time.
Besides running a full scan, what should I do to clean the computer? Should I install another anti-virus or anti-malware tool (can it help?), or once viruses infect a system the only real solution is a clean format?
(Lately I've heard of viruses that burn themselves in the BIOS, so a clean format might not always work ... how common is this technique? Should I burn a fresh BIOS as well?)
