Yeah, watch out for this virus. I have a lot of office work stored on my computer. When an e-mail comes from my boss, with an official office file attached to it, it really does look authentic. Lucky I have my virus scanner!

Okay ,okay, it's my software. But that brings up a problem then.
Don't laugh, but:
my mum won't let me change the software. She says:
"It's good enough and you never know what problems you'll get by changing it."

Do u have any idea how PC's work?? There is no way that ure PC hardware configuration can interfere with what types of virus's ure scanner can find. I promise u, its the software.
