So now I have to spend another 80$ to have it removed again. They say they keep out 97% of virus's. We just keep getting the 3% that they don't cover.
If any of you are experts, I can go deeper to explain what is going on. McAffe had to remotely get into our system and clean it out.

I bet you are talking about the XP 2009 virus. I had the 08 version. Got it again and again. Thank god, I have Internet Security Suite from Verizon. They do the remote thing, they download their tools, and they take it out. But they have explained that the virus often renames itself and hides in folders. It's a major pain in the behind. I also use Super Professional Antispyware. They gave it to me, but I upgraded and paid for one year of service. I run a scan every morning.
I finds malware, spyware, grayware, adware. All kinds of wares. lol
And it finds viruses too.
I don't enjoy surfing the net much anymore because of all the popups telling me that I am infected and to download this anti-virus and that anti-virus. These are the viruses that masquerade as anti-viruses.
Good Lord.
