Hi, my name is Angela. I'd like to think I'm a friendly person and I've had my share of experiences and knowledge.
My friends tell me I'm great at giving them advice (most of the time) and I like to have fun while I'm at it.
Not sure about something a decision? Need more insight? Have some questions about sex? You should feel free to ask me about anything at all. I check my email all the time and I'll try to respond as soon as possible!

Has anyone ever used Avast! anti-virus? If so, can you help me out here a little?
This scanner has found a virus on my PC and it told me the recommended action was to 'move it into the virus chest'. I clicked the button that did that...what happens to the virus now? What do I do next?
And can anyone explain what a 'trojan worm' virus will have done to my PC? How is my PC still functioning?
And also why a fully updated version of Norton Anti Virus has failed to pick this up over three years and yet this new virus scanner got it in five minutes?
I have never used Avast! but I can answer some of your questions. A virus chest is like quarrentine for the virus. This way the virus cannot harm your computer. Most virus programs require you to manually get to the virus chest and delete the viruses. Your Norton Anti Virus probably could not pick it up because you didn't take the time to update. My bud works with computers at the gov so he frequently emails me to update when necessary. MSN, for example, has a link where they'll update your computer for you. If you have a hard time remembering to update, try setting it on automatic and it'll usually prompt you to update weekly.
