AVG is good, but sometimes slow on updating their definitions. I just
removed it as it kept locking up the system lately. I just installed
F-Prot which has the latest definitions including that latest little
gift out there. So far , I've been clear (although I should be with the
caution I exercise). Isn't there a online virus scanner site? I can't
for the life of me remember where it was. Might help him in a jam till
he can find something more suitable. (Just a thought...)
