I still have AVG...it detected that worm.nachi for me


... but couldn't remove it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

Since much virus exposure is through email, one thing to remember with AVG Free Edition is that (quoting their site FAQ) "AVG Free Edition currently supports Microsoft Outlook email client." Note, that is "Outlook" NOT Outlook Express. I don't use Outlook (nor OE much, for that matter!) but nonetheless the AVG System Status panel for the free edition proudly announces: "Email scanner Active and Functional". Codswallop!

The pay version (again, according to site FAQ) supports "MS Outlook (97/98/2000/XP), The BAT! 1.6+ and Eudora (32bit) by plug-ins".

While this ain't the end of the world... reasonable caution, and separate scanning of email attachments, will still provide protection... it is something to keep in mind.
