Does the FREE version of AntiVir (PE Classic) detect and remove Spyware and
Adware ?

Does it also detect and remove Worms, Trojans, and Diallers ?

Or is it good for Viruses only ?

Thanks,
AP

I have been using Anti Vir for a few weeks, and it appears to be mainly for
viruses.
You can set it to detect dialers and other programs that attempt to send out
info from your computer, but I'm not sure if it can find these things when
they arrive or only after they try to activate themselves.
