[gui-talk] PREVX Virus and Worm Scanner

[albert griffith]

Monthly Microsoft puts out a nasties removal tool and it works pretty well.
I've also used their Live One Care antivirus and protection program and like
it allot.  I'm just waiting until June when they'll be offering it for free.

When you talk about Microsoft's program, which program are you referring to?

Thanks.
