I Hate IE

[vor_lord]

Alright, I've run Mcafee free scan and found that I have:

Exploit-MhtRedir.gen
JS/Exploit-DialogArg.b
VBS/Psyme
Exploit-ObjectData
Exploit-IFrame

I've switched to a laptop and am on lurkerlounge right now.  I don't mean this an offensive way, but is there anyway to get rid of these files, through mcafee and/or norton, that does not require money?  I'm searching through their websites but have not found 'trials' or freeware.

If I have to, I'll buy the product.  But I thought I'd ask first.

You are probably already doing this, but make sure you are keeping up-to-date with all of the patches available, and are running
a firewall.

I have yet to get a virus on my home windows computers (this is 3 years since I've actually settled down), and the only security precautions I have taken are:

• Run Windows Update in automatic mode
  <>
  
• Use a firewall (I now have a hardware firewall, but WinXP software firewall worked just fine)
  <>
  
• Run Firefox/Mozilla instead of I.E.
  <>
  
• Don't use Outlook<>

  At work, however, it seems every virus that comes along gets everyone's PC somehow. Luckily 99% of my time is spent under Linux :P
