Nice list man. I am using symatech right now and I cna tell you that I have never gotten a virus. Well I have but it has either been quarantted or destoryed by the software. Thats why I really recomend symatech. O yea dn Adware SE Personel is an awesome one too. Gets rid of all your bots and junk on your comp. This with a combo of Spybot and you will be bot/virus free. Cheers!

  12. Iexplore.exe - is a virus i think (20)

    it can be a virus if it's not run from the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ folder.
    What's happening to my system is that iexplore.exe runs from that folder however, it does so
    when internet explorer is not actually running! Furthermore, i have a new process running in my

    link - your computer will be infected. Beware - the epidemic only started a few days ago. If you
