I received a call from a pc illiterate friend last night. They have recently got on the net, their pc was running very poorly and he asked me to have a look. It's an old box, so old specs are immaterial, running 98se, so I went to look.
Results were: 95 Trojans, 2 viruses and 487 spyware.
It's wonder the poor thing was running at all. Got that out and going back to defrag etc and general clean up tonight.
He now has AV (AVG 7) and spyware detection (Spybot S&D and Adaware SE)
Also Trendmicro Housecall and Panda online scan are in the favourites folder.

I've had one virus in my time and i don't use AV software. I got MSBlast.exe which was an obvious one and easy to get unfortunately
