Kaspersky is supposed to be good, fast and cheap too.
By the way, for those worried with possible infections in IE (undoubtly, the most vulnerable browser available out there) and that PP is supposed to work only in IE, I should recommend you using Opera. PP works fine and its a nice browser. Ive been using it for as long as I can remember. And its fairly immune to web based attacks programmed for IE, as far as I remember, ive never been infected that way.

Kaspersky is very strong, but I always found it extremely slow when I was running it. Of course, that was a couple of versions ago, at things may have improved greatly since then.

I'm intrigued to hear that PP works in Opera. Perhaps the PP code isn't all that far away from being cross-browser - it's on my list of things to look at, but said list is *very* long at present, and maggots deliberately trying to break the current site for everyone else only makes it longer... Fingers crossed, won't happen again today and we can all get back to what we want to be doing, rather than what we need to be doing... ;)

I use Kaspersky and it is very good, one thing I have found is that I have problems logging into the FLogger if Kaspersky is running, I turn off Kaspersky , then logon to the FLogger then restart Kaspersky, other than that I have no problems with it.

Well, touch wood, etc, etc, we're past when the trojan was re-applied yesterday without incident today. We will of course keep monitoring things throughout the day to be safe, but I think we can finally begin to draw the line under this one...

I made a little video showing me locking a flight with Opera. Quality is the result of fitting a desktop to the size of YouTube window, but I think it can be seen that im locking the flight and then unlocking it

I might be slightly responsible for the attack guys...

Please tell me whether the guy who hacked or attacked had a name like Felaco and/or was Turkish.

I say this because on another website which I'm a moderator on, a guy named Felaco attacked it and he was definitely Turkish as the messages were in Turkish and he hacked it with messages and malware with some really disgusting stuff about how he thought Greeks were vile.

Me and an Admin managed to get it all off, but please tell me whether it was the same sort of thing considering I wasn't here when the attack happened

I am so sorry if it is related to this horrid person :[

Matt,

Only thing we have that identifies the perp is the IP address that did the uploads, and that reverse traced to Russia. I don't think this was "your fault" per say, and I don't really want to say very much more about it. ;)
