Jumbled letters don't necessarily indicate corruption. The program may
have been compressed, for instance.

In my experience, anti-virus software that runs in the background
causes unacceptable performance hit and generates too many false
positives. In my line of work, I often receive large attachments
(typically, 5-10 MB in size). I have yet to see an AV package that
scans this amount of data without annoying delays.

They're buggy, too. I've been receiving complaints from users of one of
my freeware applications - apparently my app wouldn't respond when a
hyperlink to a local file was clicked. Turned out they were all using
AVG, which somehow, totally invisibly to the user, prevented the
program from launching other applications.

The PrintScreen key will copy your current screen to clipboard.
Alt+PrintScreen will copy only the active window (which is typically
more useful). You can then paste the image from clipboard into any
image editing program (Paint will do).
