Re: Free Anti Virus Software

Does anyone know anything about the Downloader-ZM virus ?

I use Macafees to keep the computer protected, and believe me it's fully protected, but during updates, it goes off line momentarily. It seems that during that time Downloader made an appearance.

Macafees found it, dealt with it, and then I reran the scan. It found nothing there. Turned off the machine, and thought, I'll have another look. Macafees popped off with the fact it had found it again, and dealt with it again.

Tried again the next morning just to be sure, and nothing came up. A bit of relief there. But am I safe rto think things have been put right ?
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I don't know.

If I put a free virus scanner on as well, so that something is protecting the machine whilst the updates are being done, will the twp products interfere with each other ?
Does any one know ?
