This is a handy tool, and if well since you're posting here, download avira or avast(they do a much superb job compared to avg) and malwarebytes. |
And if your parents are the type to freak out because a program is free from an unknown source, Microsoft has a capable free one that is also better than AVG. It's called Microsoft Security Essentials. It is easier to use than either Avira or Avast!, too, but Avira and Avast! have slightly better detection rates.

A mirror is a site that hosts the same content as the original site for various reasons. A lot of malware blocks anti-malware sites, so try downloading it from there instead. |
