>>But then, back when I was still using McAfee antivirus, I'd never had stuff get through that Norton antivirus would let through (co-worker was running it -- every other month I was cleaning out stuff on his computer. Didn't help matters when Norton would detect the infection two weeks *after* it's been infected -- then fail to remove it. Had to hook up drive to my computer and clean it out using McAfee..).

What type of antivirus do you use? (I use AVG).
