Has anyone tired it yet? I need to remove a virus to get my audio driver uploaded; HIstory and info here I wrote in an earlier thread, when I thought it was an audio problem only:
There were problems with it having False Positives in the past. We used to routinely remove StopSign from computers and install a more reliable anti-virus.
StopSign was de-listed here:

Any product or Vendor ever listed there would not get my vote -- ever.
See the list of "Free Security Software" at the top of this board for some reliable products.
I suggest Avast for anti-virus along with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
I deleted the StopSign and downloaded the Avast it found a trojan horse but when it suggest move to chest I did and also tried delete it both said the same thing Cannot Process c:\windows\system32\univers32.dat\[upx]"
It couldn't get rid of the virus .
I'll see if I can download the other you suggested. I thank you for your help.
Please download to your desktop
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from

Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
