I was hit by these scam hackers. It took MSN people over an hour
yesterday getting rid of this virus ANTIVIR Solutions infected my
computer. They are virtual crooks. MSN did it for free. It could
happen to you and could be happening to millions. They give your
computer pop ups continually. They hope you will give them 50 bucks to
get rid of them. Its like paying Mafia protection. TreBert

There is a fake Antivir going around. The real one is by a company
called Avira, and their product is called Antivir. I use the Avira
Antivir in my laptop, while I use AVG in my desktop. The Avira is much
smaller than the AVG is therefore less resource intensive, exactly right
for a mobile solution.
