    There's never a bad time to make sure your virus protection is up to date!

    So true. I keep mine updated every two weeks out of fear. Sad that we should have to do that.

    Mine is updated every 6 hours I'm online, and does a set of scans, some nightly some weekly. Yeah I'm a bit internet paranoid. lol

    Still not enough to make me switch to a Mac.

    Linux, maybe.

    Heh. Linux was originally a server and development platform, but it is now evolving into a extremely, almost infinitely, expandable desktop system. The fact that my desktop, IMO, looks so good it could beat a mac is quite an achievement.

    Mine does something the same and yes, I'm a little paranoid about it too.

    I see most of you who replied do keep protection updated, I just thought I'd pass the info on for others who may not be so vigilant is all.
