Likewise. There are certain applications I install on every new build and the above mentioned are two of them

I'm guessing we differ on AV though.
I use AVG free, you?

As already said, both of mine are free.

I can get you links if you want, although im sure the other ones Stan and APOL have mentioned are just as good as well.

Downloading adaware now. Though I know which site it was that had the trojan. I don't think it was a pop up ad either.

It was the website of a club in London - a big club... tried to access it through work aswell and of course didn't get very far

called them today to tell them.

I'd urge you to download Spybot too, as they seem to compliment each other. Some things that one prog will miss are picked up by the other, and vice versa.
One isn't enough IMHO. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Apol, I actually got sidetracked and am DLing spyware doctor.

Just hope they don't pick each other up as viruses!

I prefer Avast free but am equally happy to install AVG free.

Having said that, Avast tends to throw up less false positives so I think I'll be sticking with that from now on. Been using it for about 5 years now with very few problems.
