Google Groups: alt.comp.anti-virus
So you think you have a virus or a trojan or something just generally missing up the way your computer works?
Max Wachtell in google groups way back in 2004 produced a wee list that lists the "things to do" and I don't think really that the list has changed all that much. I commend the first three points to your thinking.
- Update Windows
- Use a firewall
- Use an Antivirus of your choice and keep it updated.
- In Windows Explorer, set Folder Options to "show all files"
- And clean out all temp, cache, and junk files.
Okay so that is five. But that will keep you away from the worst.
