Hi, guys,

Our PC got infected due to an expired Virus definition, and suddenly got flooded with viruses like trojans etc. We found our usage increased when compared to earlier months.

Removing Norton, we had Karsperky installed and run on our PC. When noticed increase in bandwidth and performance slow, we decided to scan PC after updating Karspersky. But, to our bad luck, Karspersky got blacklisted. As a result, we had to scan PC with this blacklisted stuff and still infected lots of virus in C & D as well. Most we got deleted or rectified.

Then, we got a freeware called Avira, got it installed and again we tried scanning the PC, but only a few of bugs found and deleted.

Then, this happened that Avira almost scans everything till it get stuck in the process. Once at 60%, anoher at nearly 94%.

But, we are delighted to see our MB usage come down very very low to almost normal. We are using the net mostly for PC to PC on Skype and/or Yahoo. However, we have been using Yahoo voice chat only to be more cautious as Skype might still take a bit more MB because of P2P.

Your comments on the above are welcome. Please also advise on Avira.

Best regards

ahmk
