The Internet is teeming with threats, but it's also home to hundreds of helpful sites, free software, and real-life volunteers who will help you scan, identify, and get rid of malicious code. Helpful Sites: HijackThis (www.merijn.org) is a free spyware scanner; you can post its logs to www.spywarewarrior.com or SpywareInfo (spywareinfo.com). The friendly experts there will review them and provide detailed, individualized instructions for cleaning your system. Scumware.com is a friendly and plain-English site with instructions on how to detect and remove various adware and malware programs. MajorGeeks.com has malware information for the more advanced user. If you're not sure whether a file is malicious, you can upload it to sites such as VirusTotal (www.virustotal.com) and virusscan.jotti.org, each of which uses over a dozen scanning engines to determine the nature of the file. You can also attach a file to an e-mail message and send it to scan@virustotal.com with the word SCAN as the subject line. You will receive an e-mail report of the scan. Free Virus Scanners: Trend Micro Housecall (housecall.trendmicro.com) McAfee Free Scan (us.mcafee.com, registration required) Symantec Security Check (security.symantec.com) RAV AntiVirus (www.ravantivirus.com/scan) Panda ActiveScan (www.pandasoftware.com/activescan, registration required) Computer Associates (www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx, download required) Avast!

norton is not so accurate in detecting virus....i suggest you uninstall it and install Kaspersky 6 (shareware) or Antivir (free edition) www.free-av.com

Hi there, I just wanted to let people know about other threats! Be careful if selling goods online of scammers. Alot of people will offer to buy your goods from you for a great price, but the thing is they say they can only pay through western union, and on top of it, to save them fees (ya right) they ask that you accept 5 times the ammount of money, deduct your cost then send the rest to Africa for them!!! I sell goods online and have had this scam attempted on me 6 times. The thing is the money they send is counterfeit!!!!then you are involved by sending money to africa so you egt dinged! Be careful! Here are some other common scam examples on http://vancouver.craigslist.org/about/scams.html I would hate to see someone scammed by someone online, please check it out!

I use: Kasperksy Antivirus 6.0, it's the best! Spybot Search & Destroy + Lavasoft Adaware + Spyware Blaster (immunize your system!). You must use a firewall too...i'm using Jetico Firewall 1.0, it's free and protect your system perfectly...it's light too! Check them out! Kasperksy can detect and kill rootkits too!
