    I do not have a prob and perhaps this doesn't belong here (or anywhere for that matter) But I wondered why there seems to be so many with malware/virus/trojan/etc problems and I never seem to experience this. Is it because of what I do with my comp? I am on broadband and have it online all day and turned off at night. I do a lot of surfing (no games and no XXX sites). I use and update regularly all all my anti-virus/firewall/anti-malware.anti-adware/anti-other stuff software. I am happy that my comp seems clean but just wondered what I am doing right. If this thread doesn't belong here please advise. This is a great site and I don't want to compromise it. Thanks

    Personally Jack, I would imagine you have the right mix of security apps + the biggy... safe surfing habbits ( meaning you dont kick those popups that say click me! ), plus you update.

    I would also guess you dont use p2p? as some peeps want something for nothing and sadly they do get their wish.. malware for free!

    Just keep doing the same and hopefully you wont be vising this part of the forum on a regular basis ;)
