I develop software on this machine and I need to keep a constant environment; as such, I don't go for the newest patch right away. In fact, this machine is still using sp1, and isn't even allowed to let me know about new patches, let alone download them. Why am I not worried you might ask?

Guest rubyjack Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Wow! The first message that actually attempts to answer my question. I don't think I'll go out and buy Kaspersky 7.0 since I have a brand new, uninstalled copy of 6.0. I had been leaning toward K6.0 based on other things I heard. Norton SystemWorks has done right by me, but they want $40 for another year's license. K6.0 costs me nothing to install (I got it early this year for $0 thanks to a Staples rebate).

He had been using ebay searching for a laptop, and visited a computer "vendor's" ebay shop, ...and his PC contracted malware from there. I can't remember the name of it now but, his a/v+anti-spyware program, (after it's real-time scanner had obviously failed to spot the malware), detected it but, couldn't deal with it properly in Windows Normal mode. I had to travel to Bournemouth and deal with it. I kept a note of the virus name but, do you think I can find it now - I cannot !! regards, Richard Quote
