    Just make sure you have the latest updates for windows and you'll be fine. I've been patching the computers in my office over the last 24 hours or so. The updates relating to this issue are KB958644 and KB958690

    I have tried a few of em, norton,tm and now I have kaspersky, its worth every penny, its blocked a bunch already and even found some that TM didnt find on my piggy back HD.

    I spent the money on kaspersky over the others, now my father swears by trend micro and he makes a living using his computer. He actually told me to get kaspersky instead of TM. when his TM is up in may I am giving him a year of kaspersky to try out.

    Kaspersky is supposed to be one of the best.

    Kaspersky is the best, if you troll around on some of the hacking internet sites you will find out why, the guy (kaspersky) was actually a "hacker" and played many, many online games and hijacked more than his fair share of internet sites/computers. All though Eugene won't admit to it (makes no sense to) but there are plenty of programs out there for hacking with his old screen name.



    Good ol' russians eh? But heres the thing, I think it is all false, wouldn't be the first time they tried to trick us :P Just download kaspersky or buy it, your call.
