Above post by downds322 looks suspect as all his posts are the same.
Edited note: Forum admin pounced on that quickly.

Speaking of viruses, does anyone know if there's a (legit) website that can tell you if you have a virus based on symptoms?

I've used every freebie they've produced since 1998 - and never had any problems with viruses (virii?)

Installs an activeX control but the scanning engine runs from the web. Don't go based on symptoms though, do an actual scan. But everyone running Windows should install the absolutely free Microsoft Security Essentials. It's a relatively robust anti-virus, -spyware, and -malware engine (based on the corporate Forefront Security Suite, which they do charge for) that consumes almost no resources and updates automatically. And of course, the price is right.
