Hello Duane - I suppose anything is possible, as we all know. I
regularly use Adaware, Sypbot S&D, CWshredder, HijackThis, &
Spyblaster along with AVG. All have current data files and all show a
clean machine. I also use Sygate Personnel Fire with a Linksys
Router BEFSR41. The machine is fully patched according to MS Update
(except for SP2). If this machine has some exploit, then damn amigo,
we're all in trouble. And I don't know how to check for any more
issues either. Oh well, so it goes.
