Bob...
1. I recommend the free antivirus program "AVG." (You can download it at
www.download.com) Even MY "tech guy" (everyone has one, right?) recommends
AVG. Be sure to completely delete any current antivirus program you're
using, then restart your computer before installing any new antivirus
program. Why? You should not have more than ONE antivirus program on your
computer. They "fight" with each other and neither one will work properly.
2. If you are SURE you have a virus, you MAY have to take it into a shop and
have it cleaned. But before you do that, try using "Trend Micro's" online
antivirus scan. It's at: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Hope this helps.

Subject: [SeniorTech] good virus program
Jerry,
What's a good anti-virus program to purchase and what do you do with the
program if you think your computer has a virus? Is it too late after being
infected?
Thanks,
Bob
