I need an open source anti-virus software that scans the system and deletes the viruses. HELP?

Why are you insistent on open-source?

Well anyhow, the only open-source AV that I’m aware of is ClamWin.
It is *on-demand* only, meaning that it will scan and remove, but you must update it and scan manually, and it gives no *real-time* protection.

If you would like to install a *real-time* antivirus, I use and recommend Avast v4.8 Home Edition:

Edit: Kaspersky as suggested below is an excellent program, but is not free.

1. turn off system restore

4 re boot & turn on system restore.

If your still having problems e mail me.

Clamwin is crap, as the first answerer has posted.

If you need a half decent antivirus remover, Avira or Avast will get the job done.

However if you need better protection, I’d suggest a commercial AV like Kaspersky. It’ll set you back around $55 for a 1 year subscription.
