Just to add my 2 cents worth to what others have already suggested,
what ever anti-virus program you were using when the virus hit your
computer obviously did not do what it was suppose to do otherwise it would
have been stopped as it was trying to install itself
Wrong statement. No anti-virus software is able to catch everything.
$$$ or not. That's what people need to understand. Anti-virus software
is not something one should put a high trust into. It should be
nothing but a last line of defense.
I don't know if I would call it a "last line of defense", but otherwise I
agree with B. Nice. The end user cannot rely on an antivirus alone; s/he
must also practice "Safe Hex". If the end user clicks on a virus for which
the av has no definitions written yet, they will be infected. And there are
always new viruses/malware.
