Popular Virus Scanners, usually update everyday, there are 50+ new viruses detected everyday!
I was under the impression that Norton (one of the largest, if not the largest) released its virus definitions every Wednesday... Not everyday...

hmm AGV is good cause its "Free" thats the only good thing abt AGV..  and i have also read on many info sites that AGV..  is not gonna support the free version much longer..  for which i noticed.. when i was using it the updates to the .dat files was far and few between... i now use Avast.. a very good "Free" program.. with updates that come every 3 days.. or such

ya can get avast from http://www.avast.com

I do agree about AVG, but the only problem with them is it takes them an awful long time to update there virus data bases

AVG is good if your poor. But yes, Panda or Kav is good. But beware Kav takes alot of resources.

What anti-virus program are you using?

I'm guessing you have one that is using some sort of script blocking.. because autos move the mouse around, they could be interpreted as a threat / virus.

I downloaded pogo pal and it gave me a virus, I think.. What should I do?????  :'(

Well if you don't have virus protection I would scan your pc at:

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

They will scan your pc for free.

I would download some kind of anti virus program so you can scan incoming files in the future.  ;)

Hmm I've heard a story like this from a certain Canadian person who did not like WordzW, he used to say that when ever he went to WordzW's site his virus protection would come up. Wonder if this could be Mr. Cox too.
