Stan Li Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I would also recommend you keep a quality antispyware running in the background in realtime, well worth the small investment considering the amount of time it takes to diagnose and fix. Superantispyware saved me from a virus that other titles weren't able to remove: http://www.superantispyware.com?rid=3625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
