WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

Make sure to give AVG Free a try...it's been pretty good at finding viruses which other AVs miss. Make sure to update AVG before scanning your computer. There's a link for download in a couple of the threads above.

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan all files that you download, BEFORE you open them
