Thanks to Jack Schofield of the Guardian Online I scanned my computer with a different detection programme this morning. There are over 50,000 files and it took over half an hour but was worth it as it found two spyware programmes that my other detection programmes have missed.
The scan is free and can be accessed at housecall.trendmicro.com. I found it through Google and used the BNeta version, V6.0.
I was triggered by an article that described how there are thousands of infected computers in the UK some of which ar being used for Distributed Denial of Service attacks where a trojan takes over your email system and uses it in the background to attack other computers. So, whether you suspect anything or not, run the programme and use it to clean any attacks out of your system. The more vigilant ordinary users are, the less spam and hacker attacks we will get.
