If anyone get's a virus from a @iceteks.com address, please let me know. My dad opened another bunch (98 this time) of viruses on the computer and now that I cleaned it, I'm getting reports that there's still some going off the network. I'll have to set a packet sniffer to see if these are comming off the network, or that someone else that's infected has one that is spoffing my email.

Wow, keep your parents off the computer. It's hazardous to it's health.

. Ya, gotta have the whole stash of internet utilities to protect your comp. I haven't gotten any viruses, but if I do, Norton will pick them up quickly.

Yeah in a way it's sort of my fault since the A/V was well, not reall working well on that PC. It was not up to date and did not catch it. Have no clue how long those viruses were there. I have this warning dialog that pops up when any emails come in with attachments, but since that did not make them realize to be careful, I might just block attachements alltogether...

LOL my grandma is bad for that.

Me "I deleted 600 spyware items on your computer, including that ebay toolbar"
her: "Why is it missing, and what happened to my internet explorer, I can't get to ebay from mozilla because it's not in the address bar!"
me: "ebay toolbar showed up as spyware, just keep track of auctions by going to ebay" *types ebay in address bar and presses enter*
her: "oh now it works in mozilla, what did you do?"
