Yes and it wasn't pretty! Go to the Downlaods page on my website:
www.stopmalware.tk and check out the Anti-Virus section. I recommend using
AVG Free Edition or AntiVir both of which are free and much more
comprehensive in my opinion.

I think that AntiVir is a much better choice than AVG or Avast.

I've tested it on my computers and installed it for several of my
consulting clients. In my experience, it works well, even on Windows
98. However, I really dislike the user interface.

Be aware that, by default, the program talks to tell you when it
installs updates, and it sounds a siren when it finds a virus.

If you decide to keep the program, be sure to register it within 60
days.
