If you’re running Windows 7, I’d recommend at minimum running Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 (which is a free download with continuous updates). Security Essentials 2.0 works closely with Windows 7’s own security features and will likely eliminate this known piece of malware.
Okay, thanks; will check out Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0, and what else do you recommend above that level?
I don’t think Norton 360 will “let me” uninstall it, to change to Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0
IINM, once it’s “in there”, it ain’t coming out “peacefully”. I’ve been using Norton/Symmantec forever and have had no (can’t remember any) problems with intrusions. Now I’m wondering how many it’s let thru quietly to do DPIs.
Aw crap, this is a hell of a start to a weekend.
Microsoft anything is awful
