I think I have one. Or to be more exact. I'm pretty damn sure my computer has a pretty bad one. It got around my Norton. Does anyone now of a good free virus killer that is avliable online. In the past I've usually found that two virus killers working at the same time gets rid of virtually anything. Suggestions?

AntiVir's never steered me wrong. Indeed, it's helped me out of a lot of jams.

If you know what you're doing then HijackThis (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html) will tell you exactly what's going on.

Oh, and dump Norton for something good ;) (The number of problems that're caused simply by having Norton Internet Security installed...)
