Default MS AntiSpyware (again)

Dear Lindyloo

I can understand that you were scared by the new reported Trojan, "Bankash-A", but I fail to see why that would make you uninstall MS AntiSpyware.

You see, Trojans can only be caught by downloading something, like a dodgy file, getting it from an infected disk, an e-mail attachment, secret installation or a hacker placing it on your PC via an unprotected open port.

What you have done is like a man throwing away his bullet proof vest because someone has invented a bullet that can pierce it, so making himself vulnerable to anyone else with any other type of bullet.

Besides, if you keep your anti-virus software up to date, and run it over any files you download, then that should be able to get rid of this Trojan before it can do any damage.

Keep your PC protection and keep them up to date.





UK Bob
