-=PCTechTalk=- This Concerns Me..

I've got my PC as 'attack proof' as possible...every single Microsoft update
is applied, firewall is always up, AV always running and updated (or checked
for update) daily and I do a complete scan every other day. I delete any
mail with an attachment before it hits my inbox, if I ever get a pop up
offering a download, I NEVER download it. Anything I DO download (i.e. -from
Downloads.com), I always run Spybot immediately after to check it hasn't
installed anything I didn't know about.

Yesterday, I downloaded nothing at all.

Fired up the PC this morning, and I got a message that AVG had spotted a
virus in winnt/system32/pctptt.exe...I did the scan , sure enough, it came
up with a dialler and fixed the problem.

How? How on earth could that have got onto my system?
