Infected while helping :(

That's exactly it ;)

Every AV software does it though...Informs you after the file is on your machine.

That's why I'd refuse to pay a £50 (or whatever it is) a year subscription to something like Norton Internet Security. The exact same thing happens, I've seen it...

I use Vipre premium which has web blocking for sites that want to plant something on my computer.
It shows up a screen that says "blocked by Vipre" and refuses to go to the site.
Works for me. vipre.com will get you there. I have the all you can eat premium version for my home computers and it works fine. Or at least it is a warm fuzzy for me.

I have dos 6.22, wfwg 3.11, win98, 2000 and xp VHD's available for testing. MS's Virtual PC works great.
Norton does the same for some sites, but they (AVs) never get them all.

Orbital, what kind of account were you using? UAC on or off?

Click to expand...

I always leave UAC at it's default setting, never had a need to change it as there are minimal propmts compared to Vista ;)
