Some things have been happening with my PC and if it was only one or two things I’d probably just dismiss them but when I think how many of these things are happening at the same time, it leads me to believe I might have a virus. The problems are: Sometimes when I’m on the web, without warning I’ll get a blue screen and the PC crashes. IE’s not my main browser (Mozilla is) but it won’t let me use the view source option. Whenever I use it…nothing happens. IE also crashes a lot too. My monitor blinks and kind of goes off for a second and then comes back on. Machines slow and it never used to be this slow. Does this sound like a virus or several small problems :h: ---

Sounds like a trojan to me. Run AVG from [www.grisoft.com](http://www.grisoft.com) and then try the anti-trojan programs. ---

Yeah, those would be exact options in the Fun Plugin that SubSeven made for most EES trojans. ---

The same thing was happening to me not too long ago. So I got AVG and found out that I had a couple of viruses, one of which was a Trojan. ---

> i got bombarded Highly unlikely, however I agree with tucker on McAfee Internet Security… I got it for 20 bucks ($50 original, $30 rebate) and I must say it was worth it. Firewall, VirusScan, and Internet Security (with file guardian)… all in one neat little cd… I’ve never been infected with a virus apart from the 1 month time frame when I lost the CD temporarily just after I had formatted my disk and which also happened to be the exact time Sasser went around. Coincidence? Fate? Probably, or it could just be my extremely bad luck… ---

I got AVG when I got the sasser worm and when I first put it on it found 16 Trojans, 7 Viruses and a whole load of other crap. Since I got it my computer runs way more smoothly. ---

16 Trojans? I thought two was a lot.
