But do you get them OFTEN???
If you do, you should be more careful of what you download and what sites you go to. ^^;
During all my time on the Net, I think I was only hit with a virus twice.

Once every two years, twice at the most. This is the worst *this* computer's ever been hit, however. It's only 3 years old. I'm well aware and have been avoiding warez and other questionable sites like a good boy. Of course, I'm still addicted to BitTorrent and LimeWire. It beats going to movie stores for movies they don't carry, and quite nifty if you only like *one* song off of a CD or a song you heard on the radio. Old comics are nifty too -- Johnny The Homicidal Maniac is sweet!

Also found this~! www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2255854,00.asp Dunno how much of those are freeware though. :P It'd be ironic to get them through torrent only to discover that hackers attached spyware and crap to their cracks. :E And man, Ad-Aware is so low ranked! I just uninstalled that thing now. Gonna look for something else. ^^

I wouldn't be surprised if one of my viruses/trojans came from a torrent of AVG 8. X) Avast is waaay better. I love the on-boot scan!

Dood, those dll files are garbage. Delete them now!!!!! They're clearly not Windows files, they never have such random filenames. I did a quick search and of course, I had none of them.

Sounds good. Looks like I'm cleaning those off during the next boot scan. Yay! Thanks.
