Possible malware on my computer
Hi,

Ive recently seen an article on theregister.co.uk advising that a website I use regulaly has had Malware injected into its code and been compromised. The article also looks at a security blog which shows what virus checkers pick up the malware. I have used AntiVir and it has come back that my machine is clean. Is that good enough, do I have anything else to worry about as this has got me worried as I do alot of onlne transactions. The link to the article is: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02...lware_assault/

Any help gratefully appreciated!!

Thankyou,

Laura

Is Window's automatic update turned on? If it's on, then you Might have survived.

To be more sure, go do some online scanS:
