I've just found a virus on my PC, its a PE_SPACES.1445 virus. I've done a free online scan but what can I do to get rid of it? Anyone know of any free online cleaners so to speak or am i best buying norton antivirus?

Get a trial version of pc cillin at www.antivirus.com
Supposedly the virus you discribe will overwrite the boot sector of your hard drive on Tuesday.
If you can't be bothered doing that at least change the system date of your computer - but in the strongest terms I would recommend you get an anti-virus now.
I agree, it's a nasty bugger, info here
i use mcaffee myself
avg is good, but can sometimes not pick things u unless you do another scan
