[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 4473157, member: 41321"] We get McAffee free from our ISP. It's not my favorite virus scanner, but we use it since it's free for us and it's recommended by the ISP. I believe he has the latest virus definitions, just not the latest software, and apparently the only way they have of updating the software is with a little downloader application that pulls it from their servers, and the virus is smart enough to block that. This virus is a clever little <blank>. It's designed to get you to pay for fake antivirus software, and one of the ways it makes you think you have a virus is that it installs a screensaver that makes it look like your computer is perpetually blue-screening and rebooting. I laughed when I saw that. We have a virus that's designed to makes us think we have a virus. :p [/QUOTE]
