You could try ClamAV - Free, no cost, and open source. It is a virus/worm/trojan scanner. It does NOT fix your files, it does NOT "make you safe" - it is a tool that can really help if you use it. I'm fairly sure there is a MSWin port. I use WinPatrol. Scotty the watchdog keeps an eye on system files, registry, etc and alerts me if something suspicious happens in any of it's watch area. Often when I install software I get a warning, "Hey, SuperDuper program wants to set a run-once executable. Do you want to allow this?" These I usually allow. Most everything else I say "no". Again, it doesn't "keep you safe" - it provides insight on what is happening and lets the user choose what to do. Good for aware users - not so good for the clueless. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
