[QUOTE="Ramblin, post: 106295, member: 170"] Hey Jack, I might be wrong but I think most antiviruses took a few days before they began to detect the malicious Combo fix file as a virus. Even people that scanned the file the day that it was released got infected. Scanning that file, probably, was not a good solution for at least a day or two. Bottom line, the best protection against this exact kind of problems for someone like myself is to keep doing exactly as I am doing. No scans. If I don't download that file, I don't execute the file out of the sandbox, I don't get infected.;) Bo [/QUOTE]
