I had a clean PC at home that I disconnected and brought over to my GF's place to use rather than her slow PC. My PC had not been infected for weeks, thank god to my using a IPF filter on my freebsd firewall box.

Anyway, within 48 hours of setting it up at my GF's place, it was infected and it was ugly!!! I tried a freeware virus scanner called AVG and to say the least, it's not the best but it works... but it doesn't get all the viruses out. So I had to run out yesterday after work, and bought me a McAfee virusscan and scanned my PC... ohhhh boy, lotsa viruses.

I think she got it by way of Hotmail.

Dang it!

Thank god I use putty-ssh and mutt!
