symantec as in norton?
that's what got my PC almost mortally wounded... the anti-virus
thingy was shut down for 2 weeks without me knowing about it and it
kept telling me everything was okay... and i was paying them
subscription too!!
so i checked the task manager, CPU utilisation almost at
100%!!
downloaded a spyware killer and it killed about 200 spyware
progs...
so i wandered to the pirate, got Panda AV and ran it after killing
norton... gave me about 3 pages worth of trojans and other scary
things, spyware that the spyware killer missed and misc other
things...
after putting in win xp pro (the real mccoy), and with Panda, never
had problems anymore...
