just popped up and said it has detected a virus blah blah report it etc. so i did. the instructions were to run in safe mode, go to the security centre and run their virus scan, which is runnign as i speak.

at 61% complete it has found 13 viruses, and 41 infected files

i have run norton antivirus every fortnight for 2 years. i know it is crap, but surely not to that extent?

mine has now completed - it fixed 12 out of 14 viruses - which means i still have 2 viruses here somewhere even after a microsoft & norton virus scan

+for some reason i now have a load of adware pop ups coming up all the time

Windows Live Security Centre ... Beta

Quote:
Beta is geekspeak for “not finished yet.” A beta product is something we are still working on and want people to test out. We’re asking you to check out Windows Live Safety Center and let us know what you really think—good and bad. That way, we can make the final product the best it can be

Try Housecall ...

 
I'm not grouchy by nature, it takes constant effort.
