if you have a problem with spyware and virii, then i suggest you swap your antivirus to Avast! Antivirus.

AVG doesnt pick them up anymore, it seems.

I think there is a free version, and a paid version.

NOD32 All The Way. MADOZ MADOZ MADOZ

Medic's recommendation List

Nod32 for the viruses.
Adware 2008,SpyBlaster,SpyBot S&D for the spyware.
Zonealarm Firewall to keep the HACKS out.

Well thats my 2cents anyway. [smilie=laugh[2].gif] [smilie=laugh[2].gif]
