My computer has a virus apparently called win32.zafi.b
Not entirely sure how it got on here since I'm pretty careful with the emails and sites I visit; nonetheless it's on here, throwing out virus alerts and code red warnings that I've got to buy their anti-virus software, etc.
This somehow got past my constantly-updated version of Computer Associates' E-Trust Antivirus software, which then failed to dectect/purge it afterwards.
I got a tip from other sites that Spybot: Search & Destroy was a good way to remove it, and at the moment it's scanning my hard drives; so we'll see if that works. In the mean time, does anyone have any other recommendations for a free anti-virus software program in case Spybot fails? 
avg used to be good but now it's almost as bad as norton with all the crap it installs.

What the fuck?
Explain please, I'm gonna be putting together a new comp soon, and I really don't wanna shove a whole bunch of shit into my system because I thought I was getting a good antivirus setup...
