Re: AntiVirus ?

Hi Smorebucks,

I will not tell you which one you should buy or use, other people have given you already some choises.

A virusscanner is only good if you keep it up to date! Protecting your system is not just a matter of installing a Virusscanner and a firewall.

Keep your system up to date with all (not just Microsoft) security updates.
Use common sense when opening mail attachments and clicking on links in email and webpages.
Do not leave your email address on every website that asks for it, doing so will probably only increas the amount of spam you will receive.
Get to know your system so you will notify sooner if "something" is going on.

If you are infected, scan your system with other online scanners for double checking.

Hope this helps,
