It’s been over a year since YourFreeVirusRemoval.com has been updated.  We are currently working on getting new articles updated and hopefully new tutorial walkthroughs since most of the software on this site has changed to new versions.  Just wanted to let everyone know.

Are you tired of people telling you about AVG Free and how great it is but not actually telling you how to get it?  Have you tried to download a free anti virus before and ended up destroying your computer because it wanted you to pay $40?  Well I know too many people who have so I am fighting back.

Here is a step by step tutorial video on how to find the AVG Free Virus Removal Tool, how to download the free virus removal software, how to install AVG Free, and how to use AVG free.  I posted it on You Tube so everyone could see it.  Hope you enjoy.

Okay well that is it.  Be sure to leave comments letting me know if you like it and how to improve it.  Also be sure to favorite the video if you really like it and share it with your friends using the bookmarks below!  This is one great free virus removal tool built for those who don’t know much about free virus removal.  Get it today!

Here is another one I should put in the comedy section. Windows is now going to try their hand at creating an Anti Virus program. Now supposedly it’s going to specialize in getting rid of those Microsoft Antivirus 2008, Microsoft Antivirus 2009, Microsoft AntiSpyware 2008, and Microsoft AntiSpyware 2009 types of programs. The ones that pretend to be a antivirus but want you to pay to remove all the stuff they just happened to find on the computer which normally includes everything that you can use to remove it. Well here is the article I found while reading on the BBC.

No date has yet been given for when the free software will launch

Microsoft is poised to start giving away security software.

The company is reportedly trialling free anti-virus software internally and said the beta version would be released “soon”.

Called Morro, the software will tackle viruses but lack the broader range of utilities, such as parental locks, found in paid-for security suites.

Morro will be Microsoft’s second venture in the highly competitive security market.

Microsoft’s first attempt revolved around the Windows Live OneCare service that did not succeed in turning many customers away from rivals such as Symantec and McAfee.

Microsoft plans to discontinue Live OneCare once the Morro software is ready.

No specific date has been given for when Morro will be released, but in the past Microsoft has said it would be out by the end of 2009 at the latest.

Microsoft said Morro would tackle viruses, spyware, rootkits and trojans.

Janice Chaffin, Symantec’s president of consumer products, said customers wanted more than just basic protection.

“A full internet security suite is what consumers require today to stay fully protected,” she said.

Security software for home PCs typically cost around £30-40 and often allow users to install protections on more than one computer.

Other companies, such as AVG and Alwil already produce and distribute free anti-virus products.

Fake help

In its latest update, Microsoft added code that detects and deletes the widespread Internet Antivirus Pro family of fake security software programs.

Such programs, also known as scareware, have been proving more popular with hi-tech criminals in recent months.

The Anti-Phishing Working Group estimated that there were 9,287 bogus anti-malware program in circulation in December 2008 – a rise of 225% since January 2008.

The US government has moved to shut down some companies peddling the programs that falsely claim to find malicious software on PCs and then charge for the non-existent threats to be removed.

In addition, the Internet Antivirus Pro software displays fake Windows security messages to try and trick people into thinking the product is legitimate. The software also contains a password stealer that watches where people go online and grabs login data.
