	You can try AVG or Nortons.. both can be update manually.. or you can remove the HD from your home computer using a HD adaptor via USB, plug the HD into you computer with internet access and scan & clean your home computer HD plus update the anti-virus __________________ The square root of nothing is what you make it!
