(windows2000 is available on Sara's awesome hdd in the office as an iso)<br /><br />5) you could install linux (i know there is an ubuntu image on Sara's hdd) on 1 PC, stick a virus scanner on it (avira and free avg have linux versions) and make it the testing station. <br /><br />6) i 2nd marques's malwarebytes suggestion. get it. <br /><br />i never had virus headaches cuz of #4, and #5 (i stuck ubuntu on my lappy). <br /><br />your current solution: updating virus scanner and scanning sometimes is poppycock. its not working. moreover, never once did i see this work well in samoa. even the savaii office PC got all junky and it updated and scanned regularly.<br /><br />keep us updated on your progress! <br /><br />good luck!yeedlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963967105881441275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11176900.post-57253317814990236632010-04-08T14:59:06.207-11:002010-04-08T14:59:06.207-11:00Thanks Marques!

I'm pretty sure the viruses you're dealing with are the same ones I dealt with 2 years ago. Here's some tips for you:<br /><br />1) You can update Avira manually without having to reinstall the program. Here's a link to the Avira FAQ explaining how: http://www.avira.com/en/support/faqdetails.php?id=95<br /><br />This manual update should work because it's what I did when I was battling viruses.<br /><br />2) You might have only found 3 viruses because you might have spyware instead of viruses (Avira might not detect both). I've used a program called Malwarebyte's Antimalware for the past year or so to combat spyware issues and it's been amazing effective. Might be worth a try - I don't know if it can be manually updated though. <br /><br />Hope this helps and good luck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404464811710214143noreply@blogger.com
