updating or installing anything new on my systems. I have never had any
problems so far.
Please also note that when you have very serious infections with viruses
and trojans, don’t ever rely on any anti-virus program to clear them.
There is no guarantee that they will do a proper job. They might also
delete some important systems files because they cannot be cleaned in
any other way.
If you have backed up all your personal documents, pictures, emails etc
and you have all the CDs and serial numbers handy then the best thing is
to perform a clean install of the Operating System and then start all
over again.
Hope this helps.
