Unique approach to Virus protection....

Thought this was note worthy....BSEditor....

From the author...

"BSEditor, A unique approach to virus detection, this freeware program won.t scan for viruses, but will rather create baited test executable and command files, and then execute them. Should a virus be resident in your system, the test .exe and/or .com file should become infected with the virus. The Virus Trap will never be able to tell you what virus it has trapped, but it will alert you if either the file size, date, or checksum values have changed. You would then have a perfect sample of the virus to submit to an anti-virus company for analysis.... "

I would agree with Arie. The last time I had a virus or spyware was in Dec 2006 on an old computer I bought used. After TMerc helped me clean it up and I installed Spybot, AVG, Adaware, and a firewall I have never even had an alert.

Best bet: Protect your system and you won't need a detector.
