Do you remember what site you DL'ed from? I can Dl it and burn it on the MAC desktop(what I'm on now).



The guy had already paid for Norton anti-virus because he had been sold it in the past, etc... So, he wanted to use that. So, I d/l'd that for him onto CD, etc.

But, I'd really just go with AVG from free.avg.com, because it's competitive with the other solutions, and it's free. I glanced at the features that come with the upgraded, for-pay version of AVG, most people don't need 'em. And, you don't need them just to get rid of this virus. Discussion of all those additional features is another thread.

But, I did notice in the marketing for most consumer-grade ISP's (your ISP is whoever you pay to connect you to the internet, Comcast, AT&T, etc.), they'll give you a free version with your service of whatever anti-virus company they've struck a deal with. So, you may check your ISP and see if you already got a free copy with them. Especially if your more comfortable with a brand name who's better known because of all the marketing they've done. The problem with this approach is that if you change ISP's, you may have to change anti-virus too. I like to rely on the ISP for as little as possible, don't even use their email, so I can switch as better deals become available in my area, etc. But, if you're more comfortable with a better known brand, this route ain't bad.

It doesn't matter, just get some good anti-virus on there and run a scan.

If the 1st doesn't work, try a 2nd.
