I tried to look for antivirus, antispyware…etc. softwares but they are not free. Can anyone tell me a software that is free and that can clean all the viruses from my PC? Otherwise i have no choise, all I have to do will be formatting the disk.

You can free download antispyware 2008
http://www.anti-spyware-2008.com which is an essential tool to keep your system free of dangerous spywares, protecting your privacy and your PC.
It also works very well for me
I would figure out which free anti-virus and malware program you are going to use… then reformat anyways if your computer is unprotected at this time.
Avira AntiVir- http://www.free-av.com
Why Avira: Avira has higher detection rates than AVG and Avast.(Avira has 99.6% according to http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse/report17.pdf )
Avira uses less system resourecs than most antiviruses.
SuperAntiSpyware- http://www.superantispyware.com
Why: i really dont know but i used it once when my Pc was infeted and i did a really good job
If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):
1. AVG Free
a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)
b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses
Cons: low virus detection
2. Avast!
a. Real-time protection
b. It has an option to delete a virus once found
c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.
Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface
3. Avira AntiVir
a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG
b. It’s cute umbrella icon
c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses
Cons: A very sluggish update
If you also want free anti-spyware and I would recommend getting Spybot Search and Destroy and SUPERAntiSpyware.
1. For your Anti-Virus……(Always use only 1 A-V…You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict… did I mention that you MUST uninstall any old anti-virus products?)
For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avast, the newist version 4.8. Avast now includes anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit components. And all for the low low price of free. You can get it here:

Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular with children and the computer illiterate but has poor virus detection rates.

2. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs……………(use at least 1 anti-spyware, but 2 is OK). Do a scan with it on a regular basis.
