Don't remember that , but thanks.
Again, reread all your post under this topic and see if you can possibly see 
where I got the perception where YOU were the one with the attitude.
Remember this one "So why do you use an antivirus program? You don't trust 
MBAM?"   I guess I just imagined the attitude you did not have..  :)

Wow!  Actually Dustin explains about malware, viruses, etc very well. Read 
his stuff.
Running MBAM in real time may have prevented it from ever installing, don't 
you think? Then again, perhaps it would have missed it also.

Now that is a stupid question.

Then why should I run MBAM along with my anti-virus program? That is the 
question you asked me just a couple of lines above.

No, I read it.

I replied "Of course not"

That tells me a lot.

I did read it and I actually understood it. Very good. Your posts and 
explanations were not, and I read them at least twice.
