Windows 7 Works fine except for Right clicking

The free version is not what it used to be. Switch to MSE or Avira and you'll be a lot safer. I switched to Avira because I knew AVG wasn't finding viruses already on my system. After I scanned with Avira, I saw AVG had totally missed a bunch of Trojans.

So, what antivirus do you strongly suggest for me? Avast, Avira, Malwarebytes... etc to stop the problems from happening?

Is spybot - search and destroy a good malware remover?

I use Avira, which I like a lot. The free version is great, although occasionally you'll get a popup asking if you want to upgrade to paid. You can disable that though. It gives you a lot of control bug it's not overly-complicated, and it can use multiple cores. You'd don't feel any performance hit when you use it. Avira is one of the highest, if not the highest rated in performance. Microsoft Security Essentials is also said to be really good as well, although I can't vouch for that. If you don't mind paying, get Avira Premium or Norton 360.

Also, always have Malwarebytes' installed (and updated before you scan), as well as SUPER Anti-Spyware, and also Spybot if you'd like, but the first two will suffice. These are for after you've been infected and are very thorough in scanning. You should always have Malwarebytes, on hand if necessary. Keep in mind though that these are on-demand scanners and not AV.

i see. But will it disable some features on the free version or will it have the same features as the premium one except for a limited time?

No, you'll be able to use whatever they provide you with. In other words it won't have everything the paid version has but it'll still be good enough. The free version and Malwarebytes' are all you really need.

ok. I've installed Avira Personal and it cleaned up some of the remaining viruses avg didn't found. But after restart, this program from c:\Program Files\Winlog\winlog.exe.exe keeps coming up on startup. I've checked it out of the msconfig, but it keeps coming back. It also makes it hard to login onto my account. Does anyone know what is this?
