Joe,

Sorry to hear about your problems. There are several good virus programs out there but none of them I have tried will catch everything. I keep mine updated and it just finished updating while I was typing this. I don't know if you tried this or not, but when you have a virus and get it out, you should flush out the System Restore as it will normally have some of the virus in it and will just keep putting it back in. So far, knock on wood, I have never had any viruses. I had Nortons for a while but never like it as it would let the test viruses through and I now use the McAfee Security Center 8.2. It caught all of the test viruses, but there are so many new ones that come out daily it is almost impossible for any virus program to catch every one of the, I am also careful about any new site that I visit and pretty well lock down what can be seen until I look at the site. Plus I use the older computer to test with as it is faster to format the drive and reload than this one with the 1 Tet. drive is. I believe it was Ernie some time ago that had a similar problem helping a neighbor and once he got rid of the system restore points, that virus never came back. And I know what you mean about spending all day as you have to wait for all of the updates to be re-installed. Good luck and get some rest.

Ron
