I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

Experience
This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.

Answer
Hi Som,

You really should have the anti-virus program starting with Windows. If you don't, you will have to remember to turn it on ASAP.

I woulod suggest that you go to Start, Run, type in MSCONFIG, under the Startup tab anything that is checked is starting with Windows. To verify if they are required to do so, go to:
