Mebroot?
« on: January 12, 2008, 12:08:03 AM »
I was just reading something about this new threat and I was wondering if Avast is able to pick up this type of infection.  Has anyone here seen a way to tell if this MBR virus is on my computer?  Symantec just recommends that you keep your security patches up to date.  Anything else I can do?

And don't tell me to get a Mac!

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
