Hi Kurt

Lets make up a theoretical question, What if the virus was so advanced,
lets say a trojan with stealth capabilities, and it got past my virus
scanner and it went straight to TBAV and infected it.
Even if I did a clean boot it will still be infected, lets say
it was such a good trojan that it infected my emergency TBAV
backup on disk as well, because I didn't realized that there was
a virus on it everything is infected.
All I'm saying is that these virus scanner companies should make
the files so they can't get infected and cover all possibilities
of attack because you never know what is coming up in the world
next.
 KW> and you should also try scanning your downloads before you run them...
I do most of the time, what toke me of guard is that, I was
unzipping PPe's and you can't infect PPe's, or what I know
of any way, But it wasn't the PPe's it was the BBS advertisement
in the file which was infected.
Oh well that's life, I learnt from it anyway.
 KW> it's not a matter of which products you use, but how you use them...
Yep I agree.
