^^ try downloading the free ones scan your computer using it... better yet.. download housecall and run the program and see if it'll detect any suspicious spywares in your computer...
** sometimes there are Antivirus programs that have to much heuristic approach in detecting files as virus when in fact they are not even a virus in the first place...
^^ possible bai
lain lain ang pattern definition files kada antivirus programs, naay soft, naa puy hard heuristic approach sa pag deal sa usa ka file..
let say for example, imong kaspersky scans all files in your computer.. then each one of those files (archived, system and hidden) are being individually crossed reference to the latest pattern file on its database.... then let's say two or more of those files in your computer matches the latest virus definition file on its database.. AUTOMATICALLY, e tag dayon na niya as virus.. bsag dili pa na virus...it will flag you as a malware (though it is not), then up to the extent of alerting you which program is hosting that 'virus' and quaranteening or blocking the said host program from running on your PC.... ana ka strong ang heuristic approach sa uban AV..
naa puy uban nga e tag lang nya as generic threat (something not a virus but on the grey area level lang).. next update your AV gets from the update server will automatically untag or tag the said possible 'file' to be a real virus threat na or it could just allow it to normally run as a normal file...
Like I've said, some AV's are designed to have a more strong heuristic approach in 'dealing' with a said file, in tagging it as a malware or a innocent/normal file.. and some AV's have soft heuristic approach to dealing it and pass it as just one of those normal window apps you normally run on your PC..
Mcafe ko...wala man...
some times anh worm mo attack not because sa website but what the website is made off anyways, or it could be some of the components sa IE maoy naka trigger either way good to hear you shifted away from IE, you dont need to uninstall it just keep it there, some application requires IE components...
there are lot of good browsers out there IE is not one of them...
please help the world in killing IE!!!
and btw does you AV has parental filter? like it filter website with words like s3x, p0rn, sc@ndal etc.... maybe kana ang nag trigger... i think IE has one....
