I hear ya. I'm very reluctant to hook-up my new home PC to the net. This is such bull$hit.

I read recently that a slow PC was checked because it was running very slowly. It was scanned using a commercially available virus scanner, Spy Sweeper and Ad Aware. It was all clear. What they didn't get was a 2.5 gig file containing personal info that was growing. In other words there was a trojan horse type program running undetected.
