I'm 99 percent sure I have a virus, I found an email "I" tried sending to some guy I don't know with some weird attachment, my computer says it needs to do a disk check then seems to freeze in the middle, and my antivirus scanner is "Unable to load the engine".
I don't know what to do.
You can log off any time you like, but you can't ever leave.
You can system restore for windows at a particular time before you opened the email and everything will be fine. My pc just crashed 30mins ago and I did that and now it works again

I often help others out of their virus problems though, by hand.
Same ear. I don't think I've ever had a virus on the XP side of my iMac since I bought the thing. Had to format a few times for a spring clean. Most of the time I didn't even use a virus scanner... Till MSN messenger forced me into getting one

I've never ever once had a virus... though I keep AVG installed just to be safe and to keep Windows from driving me nuts with its little balloons of haranguing annoyance.
Did I mention that I download a lot of files? I mean A LOT. I used to leave my computer on overnight to download files when I had dialup so that I wouldn't tie up the phone line during the day.
