chances are Norton wont detect anything. I dont like Norton, Anytime I have had a virus it is because I had installed norton or McAfee.
Adaware is a joke.

I use NOD32 awsome antivirus. http://www.nod32.com./

Download Windows Defender, Spybot http://www-spybot.net/ and Hack This http://www.hackthis.org/

Anyone else experiencing this when accessing the discussion forum? Please let me know. Not sure if it is from accessing this website Sandy, I highly doubt it but will make a note of it for precautions.
