    PC pop up says I have a virus when virus scanner says I don't


    Hi, I've used my virus scanner to check for viruses twice now, and it says no viruses have been found; however, when I turn my PC on a little pop up from random sites keeps showing up saying my PC is infected with a virus. Is this just a scam from some site or should I actually be worried?

    :)

    One thing to note about the AOL virus scanner - I can't remember the exact details, but some people were worried that in the T&C there was something that said AOL would be able to use the software to 'spy' on you essentially. I'm not sure if that's changed though, but that's why I use avast!.

    Gmail has a virus scanner

    Gmail has finally got a virus scanner. It will scan incoming mail and attachments you are trying to send. If the virus scanner can not clean the file it will not let you donwload the file or send the attachment. This also will wonder if Google is going to release a free desktop virus scanner.
