I stupidly opened an email from a person that I did not know and immediately was hit with a trogan horse and 8 seperate viruses and none of my 'protection' programs either saw it or prevented it. It correpted my favorite laptop so bad as to make it totally useless. Even the factor extra recovery disks won't work.
From now on no more strange emails or opening anythng that even gives a hint of viruses.

I had McAfee and also tryed another one. Both failed to catch
viruses.

I have been using Avast Antivirus for a couple of years now. It
is good imo. Save me from T.Horse a few times. It updates
everyday. Good thing it is free.

Yes...... Avast....interesting... I used it as well and had no issues for my 64 bit machine.. Amazing! I purchased Kapersky (good program by my lights) for $$ just because I could not believe a free program could be that good! The power of advertising I dare say! Perhaps I had had enuff of spybot! (in it's free days that is.......) :roll:
