   You also could use some good anti spyware;

    since no one answered your other question about at&t.
    they are getting AVG 8.0.
    You should download that along with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    your IP has built in phising spam to a point..
    Good luck

    How ? Well you need 3 things :

    ♣ Working internet connection
    ♣ Internet browser installed ( Firefox, IE, Opera… )
    ♣ You have to visit one of the websites that are offering you free download of software

    Let me describe you those 3 anti-viruses.

    1. AVG is useless and used only by retards. Its a “install and forget” program that does only basic protection and nothing more. It is unable to remove medium-high risk worms and viruses. I wouldnt advise it to anyone.

    2. Avast! Home is decent antivirus. It has many functions, 3 levels of protection and serves much better than AVG. However : it detects a lot of false-positives, so much that user with no knowledge about it, CANNOT handle it and will often delete files that werent harmless at all. Besides, its awfully complicated.

    3. Among all 3, Avira detects and removes most known threats and viruses. It scored high on the tests, its simple to use and able to remove stronger viruses, including those hiding in boot sectors of hard drives. I`d certainly recommend you to use Avira.

    I made a full review on how to configure it, here : http://www.ecuhq.com/tested-programs-how…

    Hope it helped.

    It’s better to stop thinking “antivirus” programs will protect you.

    Instead you should:

    1. Set up and use almost exclusively a limited user account.

    2. Google the phrase “social engineering” and read the first five results.
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22social+engineering%22&btnG=Google+Search

    3. Install Windows updates automatically.

    4. Use Firefox with the NoScript extension.

    5. Turn off autorun in Windows:

    6. Do not install or run “antivirus” software. It doesn’t actually protect you, it uses up system resources, and it makes you unnecessarily paranoid.

    I don’t know about free anti-virus of At&t users. But I do have a blog that lists all types of FREE Software including FREE anti-virus software give it a look and see what options are available to you.

    I’m sure At&T would provide you with free anti-virus software, but I strongly recommend you use a different software. Personally, I use AVG Anti-Virus. It has a basic edition that is totally free that works extremely well. If I were you, AVG would be the best option I would choose.

    Download AVG now, before it’s too late…
