Any advice from the tech-know-alls on how to avoid these types of things...
Find the little S***s that make the viruses, gut them old school style and then hang there lifeless bodies fron the nearst tree with a sign around there neck that reads "I Created a Computer Virus" as a warning to all other computer virus makers.

Put a webcam next to it so everyone can see it. Then hang Bill Gates next to him with at sign "I Created Programms Promoting Computer Virusses".

Ah if only the world were a perfect place to live and justice was so kind as to allow for something so sweet as this.

Viruses will only disappear when it's no longer business.
Where do you think virus writers get their money from?
Don't support that business.
Never pay for any commercial AV or related software.

The same place that the vandals, graphiti artists and arsonists get their money. From whatever day job they have that they use to support their anti-social, destructive behavior.

Or from their parents.
