Dean Procter Customer compulsory anti virus firewalls pointless: related news

Dean Procter: Customer compulsory anti-virus firewalls pointless?

The issue of customers being held liable for their losses if they don't have the latest antivirus and personal firewall installed is ridiculous when we see bank's sites with major security flaws that still leave their customers vulnerable regardless of which personal anti-virus or firewall software they use. The banks are the ones with the flaws and are creating the potential problems for their customers. I expect the courts will hold the banks liable for losses when it can be shown that the bank site is the vulnerable party and cause of the problem.

Invisible Porn & a Vampire Virus

I have Webroot Antivirus with Anti-Spyware, and it is currently running a sweep. The problem is that it seems to be scanning porn-related files that I can’t find on my PC. I don’t LOOK at porn, and don’t know where they could have come from. They appear to be saved in a folder called C:\docs & settings\user\!\PORN NAMES. I can not find the “!” folder. What’s more, something is making my computer REALLY slow. The sweep has also detected a virus titled Troj/Agent-HEG. The sweep has found this virus in the past, and when I remove it, it comes back about two weeks later. Please help me to (a) get the porn off my computer (if it’s even there) and (b) remove the virus for good. I’m hoping these two actions will speed my PC up again! Thanks for all your help! Molly
