for free scripts u can use either Avast or Avira. I'm using Avira. I haven't used paid scripts in a while.. last time I used was almost 7 to 8yrs ago. I had Bit Defender, AVG paid versions.
Anyways coming back to the topic, take a backup into your pen drive.
Scan thoroughly.. I meant full scan on the above mentioned software. Also download Ad-Aware, scan ur system through it, it will detect & remove all the spyware/adware. But remember if ur system has low specs, system may become slow.
when u r done with the virus/malware removals, do the next:
Download secunia psi-tray & install it, it will let you know when your softwares need to be updated.. it checks for all the softwares updates manually.
Always remember to install softwares in a different drive, I meant if ur OS is installed on C drive, use D drive for software installations. It enhances system performance.
