====================================================
I dont bother using any anti-virus progs mate... they are all just as
useless as each other.
The only (possible) exception to that would be... Kaspersky.
I have been let down many times by free and paid for anti-virus
programmes... but the main defence IS Common Sense !
I just learned to regonize a virus BEFORE I download/install it !
Most are pretty obvious. If I'm not sure about something then I run it
in 'Sandboxie' ... or some other 'shell'.
Kaspersky has let me down ONCE in 20 Years... software like Norton let
me down time after time ! I will Never trust it again.
Wasn't a virus anyway Mate... the drive was just getting too old/used
and decided to give up.
