Re: its easy

If you know your PC like the back of your hand then you can pretty easily tell if it's clean. Easiest way is browse the running processes on occasion, or check the "Run" in the registry to see what's starting up when you boot up your machine...

A while back I was sent an E-mail saying that I was infected with some worm (the e-mail was sent to a web based account) The person worked with a friend of mine out in Calgary. I told him that the e-mail was spoofed and it came from somewhere else, then he asked me if I had A/V. I said no... he flipped out that I had the nerve to say I wasn't infected.

I downloaded a trial of kaspersky and ran it... who would have thought... no virus found.

How do you know there is no infection?
