Talking Anti-Virus Program
I downloaded Sophos antivirus after a suggestion from one of the moderators(RedKop). Got to say that it found out viruses that Mcafee never picked up
Totally Recomend it

Thanks a lot Lynne

Which viruses were they and what version of McAfee were you using? I'd hate to think that Sophos had somehow gotten ahead of us in terms of detection. Let me know and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

Dont worry Jack it is more likely XT being poor at using a computer

According to the VIL both those viruses would have been picked up by NAI.

I second that. Sophos is very poor when you compair it to Kaspersky.. I too wouldn't use anything other than Kaspersky.
