How to do a Free Online Virus Scan
February 4th, 2010
Hi All,
Do you think you may have a virus or spyware infection?
If so then you can remove it by downloading and running an antivirus software scan using a range of free antivirus software applications.
An alternative to download a free antivirus package, is to use a free online virus scanner.
One of the most popular free online virus scanners is Trend Micro Housecall.
To do a free online antivirus scan :
- Simply visit CNET Download.com and search for “Trend Housecall”.
- Click the Try now button and click Download Housecall 32 bit
- After the small download is finished click on the “HousecallLauncher” to install the antivirus software
- The program will then download the latest updates of the Free Housecall software
- After this has finished you can run a complete virus and spyware scan on your PC to remove any virus and spyware infections.
There are other free online virus scanners on the market, but I like this one primarily because as a PC Tech I have used this companies products for several years and the software does a great job of removing viruses etc.
When you are finished with the software, you can easily remove it from your PC via Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs.

Please share your experiences with this or other online virus scanners
Regards
Steve
