Here's a couple of ideas, although I'm sure others will also add their
ideas as well. AdAware can miss some stuff. I use SpyBot(it can miss
things that AdAware can pick up on) as well as AdAware. Also, AVG is
slow somtimes updating their definition files. Might want to consider
another. I am also DSL, have an internal network, however, I run F-Prot
for virus protection and no firewall. I'm using the DI-604 router in
complete stealth mode. I also have the preview pane turned off in my
mail reader. I check all incoming email via viewing message source
first. Add the F-Prot email protection, and I seem to be in a good
position. So far, I've deleted 10 messages that have come in infected
without ever opening the gaffers. I replied to the Col., as there is a
site that has an online virus scanner that is usually up to date. Might
help you in a pinch, but I can't remember the url for it. Hopefully
someone here can :-)
