I don't liek Macafe. It slows down my computer to hell. But if you have norton, then yeah do that. Safe mode, then your safe. And i have 25 viruses, dunno how to get rid of them.

Norton is the worse anti virus, apart from the fact it fails, it also takes up a huge amount of RAM.

You have two options, depending on the virus (If you know what it is)
1. Get a decent anti virus, I'd suggest AVG just to scan, don't keep it, it sucks.
2. Then disconnect from the internet and scan, this is so if you have a RAT/keylogger/somthing which needs to send packets out, it can't.
3. Run the anti virus scan.

Or you can do this

2. Run the online anti virus scan.

AVG is terrible, it detects everything as a virus.

No, it dedected a application I coded as a virus, when it had a basic code within it, therefore it's detecting viruses which aren't there.

So it fails.
