Hey, if you want to try something, try running SpyBot Search and
Destroy. I've been on-line more than 20 years (BBS at 110Baud back then)
and never been infected either. I have hundreds of workstations and
servers under my control based on my security designs and none of them
have ever been infected either.
It's interesting to see what SpyBot comes up with when you run it on
people machines that are not under your control, even more amazing for
people that are disbelievers in security :)
