Obssessed With Viruses?

I received e-mail from a viewer the other day convinced his PC was acting up because of a virus.

However, his anti-virus program found nothing. And other online anti-viruses checkers came up empty.

So now he's dissecting the registry.

Word of advice: if you've got a good anti-virus program (such as Avast) and you are using a firewall and anti-spyware programs... relax a bit!

Accidentally going to one suspect website probably won't bring your PC to a halt. However, repeatedly going there could be problems.

If you suspect a website may be a problem, research it on the Internet. See if others have had problems. If you get an error message, search that message on the Internet.

Chances are you are not the only one experiencing problems. And with a little research, you may find the fix to your problem.
