After 3 months of broadband without a firewall and antivirus I think I have been given a virus. I am sending more packets than receiving and I have no programs running

Any suggestions? I was thinking along the lines of McAfee or Trend.

Cheers
Darren

Alternatively...

AVG Anti-virus from Grisoft http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index...c780cf764c3cec

and a hardware firewall solution from www.smoothwall.org
(requires an *extra* machine acting as the firewall)

Both free for non-commercial use
