GL: Charts Again

Avast! has a feature that usually can help when others fail. There is an
option to run Avast! upon boot. It runs in DOS before the OS loads. Usually,
viruses that cannot be completely removed with the OS loaded can be removed
at the DOS level. The one time that I had a virus infection, Avast! found it
in two places on my HD and removed both copies. With the OS up, it would
only clean one copy. Upon boot, the remaining copy would replicate itself
and cleverly hide it far away from the other copy. This was my experience
with a Trojan Horse one year ago.

Avast! is available free for home use at www.avast.com .

I had to reformat hard drive to remove the infection received from access
the site...  I own a product from them.  Whether from the site or not after
the access all stopped on PC.  Online geek help spent 8 hours trying to
remove infection prior to the reformat and all software reinstall.  My prior
antivirus was a "trend" subscription with daily updates and scan.  I am now
using CA hopefully for better results.

Same with me except I was allowed to sever connection with the website.
Exchanged emails with the owner and he told me that his host and ISP were
very secure. I have their book and would like to visit their website, but
will no longer try to do so. Has anybody with a different virus checker had
a different experience. One thing I like about Avast! is that they update up
to 4 times a day!
