After you get your antivirus (either AVG or Avast!), you can scan from one of these from time to time-
A2 (free vers.) or Bitdefender (free vers.)
The free version of both of them dont run in the background. They both update very frequently. If AVG/Avast missess something, then one of them should catch it.

AntiVir cannot find any virus that i tested it on.
I'm just curious, what viruses did you test AntiVir with? And was it completely updated? The reason is, that I use AntiVir and have found it to be excellent. It gives me better detection rates than either Norton or McAfee.

http:\\wwwhousecall.antivirus.com\ has got to be one of the best antivirus solutions on the freeware market, its quick easy and ver reliable.
Having a antivirus program on your computer does little if you do not upgrade it, with housecall its upgrades everytime you scan. And best of all its online so you dont have to dowload the world of mb's.
just everytime you log on you have to download a small virus definition file, and even though it is a web based aplication it can fix, clean, or quarantine any virus that is in the definitions.

The problem with online AV's is that there's no real-time monitoring. These are good for scanning a system that's so infected that even the AV is infected. The advantage being of course, that you're always sure of an updated antivirus.
