In the past moth my own repair shop has had more virus removal calls then normal. Just because a person has an antivirus which was on your computer when purchased does not mean it is up to date or even enabled.
Almost all of these clients had an antivirus program on their machine. All were either out of date, not enabled or had the email scan disabled.
Please Keep your antivirus software up to date and enabled. Make sure you have your email scan enabled as well.
You may download free trial versions of the software online:
Norton has been the most reilable I have seen so far and most user freindly.
