Everything I've read from a great many learned people say that you need
a variety of tools in your toolbox to minimize the chances of infection.
But it's still going to happen no matter what we do or how diligent in
our efforts to prevent it we are. They build better mousetraps all the
time but the mice keep getting smarter.

There used to be a time when I didn't have AV
scanners. I used to know the source of my files and
had precautions not to infect my machine(s). That
worked till I inadvertently surfed to a shoddy
website.
2 days of hair pulling later, I decided to reformat
and switch 100% to firefox.
That worked for a while till I got infected again!
Anyways, long story short, I bought Kaspersky with a 1
year reg and really liked the program, it was good and
did the job well.
However last weekend my Kaspersky key expired. First
thought was to whip out my Mastercard and buy another
1 year license.
But I decided to give the other products a look.
In the end I ended up buying NOD32. Guess what, right
off the bat after installation and after updating the
DAT files, it found a trojan!
This was a trojan that Kaspersky did not recognize!!
What irks me is that does one now have to have 3
antivirus programs running catching viruses that the
others miss?
Is there a GOOD program that catches all viruses, or
99.9% of them?
NOD32 is now my fave AV program. It is light and has
a lot of good features.
