It still amazes me that people wander the net without any protection from this sort of thing. To me, wandering the net without protection is like BBFS....it's like playing russian roulette with an automatic...

PK: your virus protection software should have prevented this from infecting your system. Please tell me you're using virus protection????

Yeah, weren't you using McAfee or Norton Anti-virus?

That IS a great deal for Norton AV but the problem with Norton is it is a memory hog. It provides for a safe environment but it IS a pig....

Avast is a nice lean running free AV.

Been using it for a few months now and like it better than that resource hog Norton AV that I was using before.
