Author: Subject: Reccomend me a darn good antivirus
Confused but excited.

I used to use Norton Internet Security until I did a test on their website and it told me my computer was not protected!

I now use Kaspersky. Real time protection for under a tenner a year. I think it's brilliant.
Simply download the free 30 day trial, then buy one off eBay for under a tenner.
I have done this for the last few years and not had a single issue with viruses, data miners or any other malware since.
Proper job.

yup, as long as you have Service Pack 3 installed - MSE just seems to work as an antivirus should (ie doing everything it should without you knowing it's there at all ) definitely worth a go imho

Quick update because this one's a real humdinger. While all the "trying to remove the virus" escapades was going on I unplugged that second drive. I got Linux mint on a disc this morning and booted it from cd, having plugged the drive back in.

Linux called it a "500mb filesystem" with 0 items and 14mb free...

So I quickly gave up on that one and booted windows back up. It's not there. Device manager shows it but otherwise no presence.

Is there a way of telling windows it is there, or could the virus have fried the c**p out of it?
