    Why worry?
    If a person is stupid enough to Download a "Flash Update" or click a link from someone they DON'T KNOW, they deserve what they get.
    Like sleeping with someone you don't know; you never know what you'll "catch".

    I would post a link to this site if I could but.... This is a great new free malware scanner. I just ran it last night and it found some trojans both spybot and adaware missed.

    But free scares me because normally they are a day or two behind the big guys

    I use the virus and spyware software from my internet provider. I have broadband through our cable company, and they really seem to stay on top of what's out there. It catches everything. I have had no problems since I started using it, and the best thing is that it's free for up to three computers in my house.

    Thats what I did before I got free Norton's
    It catches so much that Att free protection does
    I hate Norton's because it asks permission to do most every thing at first

    My isp is Charter. I don't know what their program is, but it kicks! Even screens my emails and pulls off attachments that aren't right.

    I run a corporate version of Norton on my home computer as well as adaware and spybot. That Malware program found stuff all 3 missed. Its worth running for free even if you think your bases are covered.

    Are you talking about Malware bytes? Between that, Spybot and AVG, I have no issues.
