yes please share for others.

Sounds interesting, never heard of a program like that before.

Hopefully this virus thing does not become an everyday thing. I can live with the weekly, but it is getting too common.

I wonder if the AV companies will start releasing patches to their software on a daily basis...for now I know Norton AV releases updates each Wednesday by 8pm EST and on special occasions (when they have enough data for an update for, say a special virus attack).
When I'm home, on a modem, it's really annoying to have a list of things to accomplish online that day, which includes at the top: protect from virus attacks and update software. with the T1 connection at school, these updates are automatic, so I tend not to think about it as much.
I wonder if Google could scan a web page for viruses? or would that be some sort of censorship?

Trend PC-Cillian (and the coporate versions of their Antivirus which I have been using to protect 350 computers and 15 servers) almost updates their patterns every day.

I found it to be the cleanest and easiest Virus Scanner to use and very low foot print on the system resources.

At home I use AntiVir. My work uses InoculateIT. I think both are great products.
