| 861533 | 2010-02-25 18:59:00 | Every Thursday I update my AV (Nod32), and other anti-spyware (all the usuals) and then run a scan on all. Usually I get nothing, or perhaps one or two tracking cookies. This week, however, every single program (except Nod) picked up at least one "nasty" (nasty = something that's considerd a high risk by the program, but not a trojan) that I haven't seen before - and I spent even less time on-line this week than previous. I also do not surf to dodgy sites - my sites include newspapers, cricket, rugby, PF1, etc. Any-one else saw the same? sarel |

| 861535 | 2010-02-25 22:53:00 | Every Thursday I update my AV (Nod32) WHAT !!! only once a week - hope you're joking, Maybe its not setup correctly, I set them up to look for updates every time the computer starts, as well as every hour. You dont even know its doing it apart from a message pops up saying updated to ??? What ever it may be. Most of the time they update daily (sometimes twice a day), but in the case of a new outbreak, I have seen Nod32 update new definitions SIX times in one day. |

| 861537 | 2010-02-26 02:33:00 | Calm down. If you were the sort who visits suspect sites or engages in dodgy downloads maybe. But I only update and scan with all my anti-malware once a week. Never found anything other than a false positive or two yet. |

| 861538 | 2010-02-26 03:37:00 | Mine updates and is finished installing the latest updates before the Computer even finishes starting in the morning. Takes (have not timed it) about 15 seconds from the time I enter my password to fully running. | wainuitech (129) | ||
