Last night whilst browsing google for something I managed to catch a worm the w32/worm,blaster to be precise!

All of a sudden I had the little box come up saying my googletoolbar was infected,

It starts saying that its found malicious software inc things like child porn etc & to click the button to protect yourself against spyware, I obviously didn't,

Anyway I have both AVG & McFee on my pc but it over ran them both making them useless, Scott spent four hours going through all my files trying to find it which he did & they ran a scan to eradicate from the registry,

Really caught us out & I had no idea things that bad can get past two anti virus software programs.
 
The same thing happened to my office computer a couple of weeks ago - did it have a message asking for $79:99 for the anti-virus software?

I got the computer boys to sort it out - not sure how they did it, but I can find out if anyone wants to know.
 
Didn't get that far, the whole pc just ground to a halt, they kept asking for my email addy & credit card details etc
