Hello, my Firewall caught this file Wgsdgsdgdsgsd.exe as suspicious so i prevented it from opening, but later i saw it was in my computer. I think its a virus. Do you know how to remove it??

Thank you for the answers I really appreciate your time!

I am currently using only Firewall and that's why I am asking for advice on choosing an antivirus program. I prefer a free version so i am going to follow your suggestion and download Malwarebytes.

I also did a little searching on my own for some information and came up to this site in google http://www.americanpendulum.com/2013/01/11/wgsdgsdgdsgsd-exe/ It says there that it is really harmful (i must say i panicked a bit) and that it can lock my entire computer.

However, there were no instructions on removing wgsdgsdgdsgsd.exe so i wiw download the antivirus or as you mentioned Anti-malware programs.

I'll give feedback as soon as i can.

Good luck with the snow :D

Remember Malwarebytes is an Anti-Malware program.

Basically Anti_Virus gets rid of Virus's etc and Anti-Malware is better at removing Malware.

The best free Anti-Virus is supposed to be Avast.

Avast

Remember to choose the free one.

MSE is another one from Microsoft that a lot use not my cup of tea but it is popular.

Ok, now I have another question :-D

If i download an antivirus program is there also a need to download antimalware too? I mean are antivirus programs also that good with malware? I hope you understand me (it sounded more clear in my head :-D)

Thanks.

No you would need both.

Anti-virus on its own is not good enough.

You will need to run the Anti-malware program manually once or twice a week and always remember to update it before you run it.

Did you build the computer yourself.It is unusual to get a computer without any Security Programs on it.

You would only need One of the Anti-malware programs but if you have already downloaded both it will do no harm.
