Virus Attack

I still remembered the last time my machine attacked by the virus. In fact I have the anti-virus installed and till now I still do not understand how the virus did it.

During the infection my desktop will fills with many funny icon. Then slowly the browser will be auto redirected to other gambling and porn webpage. I use the anti-spyware to scan it first and manage to identify the virus but couldn't remove it. Then I even use download the fix tool from the anti-virus trying to fix the bug. Somehow it doesn't work but became worse. Some of my programs start malfunctioned, as the original execution file has disappeared.

At the end I format the system and installed the fresh copy. From this incident I realized user couldn't just trust the anti-virus but required to install anti Spyware and Outpost Firewall as well to ensure the security. However by doing so will cost a bomb, how nice it could be if we can find the software that is all in one to ensure no virus attack.

Doesn't you know about new Agnitum products? I've been using Outpost firewall from the first versions, it's about 2 years, The firewall is really effective. And now I've installed Agnitum Outpost Security Suite on both my desktop and laptop. It includes time-proofed Outpost firewall, plus anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware. I recomment you to try this out.
