Well, I use Norton AV 20-o-4. As well I use Adaware. They both work perfectly fine for me. They both find things, kill them and thats about the half of it. Some time ago, February I believe, I had a virus that just started killing all my applications. Whenever I tried to run anything, it wouldn't work because the shortcuts were bad or something or other.

And nothing is my fault. It would be in the best interest of ones self to say it was your own fault for listening to someone else. Another reason why critics are lame (not that I'm saying those that write reviews for TWG here are lame).

I still don't know what I did. And this is usually how I get the blame for something. I guess I just have scapegoat hovering around myself like I'm some sort of prize winning scape.

Thanks for the info guys.

It looks like I've got a virus on my secondary drive. I partioned my 12GB into two separate drives, and I'm very greatful that I did. I don't have an AV right now because of $$ and the problem stacer is having with MacAffee. Looks like F-Secure could solve my problems.

If you need an AV, MoD, you're on BYU campus, right?  You can get one for free off of BYU's website (because BYU is tired of having so many viruses coursing through the intranet, they're offering one for free.)
