Default Do You Have A Good Anti-Virus Program?

I am posting this for anyone to be alert for a virus that infected NASA computers. It is called a gozi virus. Please run your anti-virus program to be sure.

Wouldn't believe ANYTHING in the NY Post.

BTW, the BEST virus protestion is staying away from suspicious sites - and never open a link someone you don't know sends you.

There is a great website that I refer to on a regular basis. It is a group of I.T. Professionals who test all antivirus programs. They actually infect computers and attempt to use programs to remove them! Then they rate the programs in order of effectiveness. Check it out sometime: AV-TEST - The Independent IT-Security Institute: Home

It's actually interesting to see month to month who remains the best. Microsoft has contended their results saying most people don't get the malware that was tested but so far I've had 5 machines get it so Microsoft might be a bit wrong on this one lol

BTW. I personally use, and recommend AVG for regular protection. Their free version works great, and their paid one has great value.
