There is a difference between viruses, worms and Trojans. You need a virus scanner and a Trojan scanner (the AV should catch the worms too). As far as AVG goes, let's just say I worked for a gov't dept where computer security was extremely important. not believing manufacturers hype of course we tested a range of AV solutions from e.g., Symantec, Network Associates, Sophos, and so on, and including most of the smaller companies too. The only ones to come through with a clean bill of health (i.e. for the large majority of the tests they had a 100% record) were Symantec and Sophos. -- Best regards, Mike mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
