PC antispyware 2010

我有個同事中咗, clean咗成兩日….佢連個kasperky都隊瓜咗, 用張UBCD boot起部機行番個kasperky連9月1日個pattern就scan到好多 files infected, clean完之後再reboot部機個PC antispware又係係番到, 我超. 佢個 manual clean procedure又鬼死咁長, 最後download咗個自稱remove pc antispyware嘅 program (http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-pcantispyware), 都唔知係咪真野, 算, 部機又唔係我嘅, 理佢咁多, 照裝. 最後攬掂, 但係個kasperky就再裝唔到, 裝完license都話no license, 冇佢咁好氣, 裝番個free嘅AVG算數, 都係嗰句, 又唔係我部機.
