I had Avast running a full scan last night. Good news, it is finding things
that AVG missed. Bad news : it froze up, and I had to do a warm reboot.
Seems like the vastness is the problem. AVG 8 may also be infected. Or
maybe I just need a new pc with 40gb ram and 2000gb hd and 5 ghz quad core
processor.
