Thanks Cider.
Basically every-day stuff, and I just don't feel like re-installing everything on my machine once it gets infected, knowing first hand some of these guys can be REALLY nasty...
I haven't been infected in a VERY long time, but when I was, I was pulling my hair out because I was working on reports with due dates very near.
I tried every possible tool at the time (safe mode), and just couldn't get rid of the damn thing because it was a very good polymorphic bugger. I had norton at the time, but i also tried spyware doctor, malwarebytes, etc etc, and nothing worked.
I could make a Raid-0 backup, but I don't have the spare HDDs at the moment... so I'm opting to be proactive as much as possible to prevent infections in the first place.
Not to mention I have to keep my parents PC pretty tight, because pretty sensitive data is being used on that PC, and they are clueless when it comes to security.
So, it's for my PC, as well as theirs.
