My connection is always on. I have a firewall and don't download mail from people I don't know.

Most days, VirusScan (I scan at least twice a day) finds the NetSky zipfile on my system. Usually, it 'can't be cleaned' but can be quarantined.

Sometimes VirusScan lists the file as 'found', but then on trying to clean/delete/quarantine, it 'cannot be found' although when I then try to exit VirusScan, it alerts me that the file is still there. Eh?

Is it really there? How does it get through? Does it *have* to be in a mail? Does my connection 'leak' in some way?
