We remove the infected hard drive, then scan it on a linux box using five different AntiVirus/Spyware programs. Then we boot in safe mode back on the original machine and scan it as a running system. Some of the new virus / spyware programs are actually running the installed avg within a wrapper and not allowing them avg to see the whole hard drive. Really pretty well written if they could have gone unobserved.

Hold it! Are you saying Unprotected Sex with a Stranger is bad? Shiza

I've actually seen one that, once infected, ran your antivirus program within a wrapper!

I celebrate linux every day.... It runs on ALL of my servers.

Sounds like a poor choice of mail systems together with poor controls. As an ISP, we handle thousands of mails per second. If I send a single mail to every customer in our system (thousands) the total time to have them delivered to the mail box (server) is less than 1.5 minutes. Rate controls should also be used to ensure no one mail can slam a system.: max messages per second max messages per user max connections per client etc.

lasted on my laptop for 4 hours before IT was purged. Dual boot Fedora / XP for when I have to run an winbloz ap.
