Those aren’t virus scanners. They are spyware and malware scanners.

ya, what ridv says, those things only pick up spyware and malware.
if you want a anti virus program, try norton, avg, or trendmicro. these will detect viruses and get rid of them.

AVG is ok…
Take a look at McAfee, or search Neowin
