Virus Scanners
**Free** On-line resources for virus scanning and spyware scanning!
We recommend that you have a legitimate virus scanning program installed and updated on your computer. It has been proven that NO virus scanning software is capable of detecting all virus threats.
In an effort to reduce the damage done by viruses and spyware, the larger anti-virus companies have provided online virus scanners on their sites. To add your installed software, we recommend that you use at least *ONE* online scanner weekly.
These online scanners are for your use and *free of charge*. Please note that online scans do require a temporary install of software to your computer, but it is removed once the scan is complete.
