You can never be too sure though. I am pretty careful about attachments, etc. and i run antivirus and adaware and update the definitions, use mozilla -- but today I discovered I picked up a "win32:inservice trojan" on my work machine. Now, my version of Nortons is a bit outdated (the engine), and even with updated definitions it just didn't catch it apparently. Though I don't open strange attachments, it might have got in through an "install plugin" type of thing. My machine has been functional but a little buggy (slow at times, occasional lockups, minor odd stuff) for the last two months, and I assumed it was due to corruption from one of the sharware video editors I had tried and uninstalled recently (maybe even where I got the trojan).
I would never have found the true cause (all the scans showed negative) except that I received a bounced email that I know I didn't send, and did some google searches using some of the limited clear text in the email. Once discovered, even some of the latest"cleaners" couldn't find it when scanning. I finally downloaded AVAST antivirus and that's taking care of it. I would have fixed it though with my fresh reformat/install planned for next weekend, but been none the wiser.

I built a completly new box to run AH2 along with a few other on line games but my home was AH for 2+ years. Its not that I can't run AH2, I just dont want to. Nothings fun for me in it anymore and there are just too many things that anoy the crap out of me that its just not worth my time playing it to get anoyed...
People like soupboy for instance. Who puff out their chest and make weak attempts to belittle others. Who would rather see the game turned into MS Flight Sim than remain the Aces High its always been. Nah, not worth the time nor the agrivation.
I will still keep my account in support of HTC and helping them to grow... But my playing days have come to an end for a long time to come...
It was fun while it lasted... And I'm sure it'll be fun again... Just not any time soon for me.
Stay close by Morph...And keep in touch
