    ive got Microso Anti/Spy, Norton, and Spybot going, i will kick the crap out of this thing. My worry is that it went to some random file local, whats the best way to detect this? just do what im doing? computer seems to be running fine, but i dont want to restart incase that would somehow activate the bastad. i feel so violated when i get viruses, lol..

    M Beta stays on all the time. If something is trying to load, it will stop it, a window will pop up and it will ask you if you wish to allow it (with threat level indicated)....I have set it up to run automatically at 2am every morning.

    No problems with normal use while deleting unrecognizable email and staying off the P2P sites!
