God only knows what sights he visited and how many "OK's" he accepted. Long story, not gonna get into it. Anyway, now I'm eating the shitburger on my own laptop. Microsoft Sec essentials won't handle the worm crawling around unless I fight it every day.. Tip on the latest pay money flame thrower anti virus? Thanks gentlemen.

You'd be betting off learning how to block and turn off everything in your browser of choice and learn how to selectively decide what the minimum is needed to run on a page/site than worrying about anti-virus.

Most stuff now is Malware instead of virus'. Yes, there is a geeky difference. I would just grab one of the freebies to begin with. Currently we are putting Avast free on everyones computers that come into the shop. Both can be downloaded from download.com

That's what I run. But I don't go to high risk websites or browsing. If you happen to go to high risk areas I would purchase the full version of Malwarebytes instead of getting the free version.
