I know there are many scanners on the market. The question is what should I look for in a virus scanner? [br]

Finding the right scanner is no doubt a tedious task, considering there are a few available. The question is which one to go for. What you need to do is find the one that will do the most for your computer needs. [br][br]The best part of a virus scanner is to scan your local drives and memory to find any virus programs or bits of code, that may be designed to do damage to the computer. Virus scanners will have a text file they read to know what files are viruses and which are not. What you need to do is make sure the scanner you choice is designed to not only scan viruses, but to eliminate them as well. [br][br]
