I am using AVG 7 free edition. Recently, when I scanned my computer for viruses, it showed no sign of a virus but the very next day it popped up a virus named...Win32/Parite. I moved the infected files to virus vault coz the files could not be healed by the AV. Then I brought parite removal tool from the net which itself was infected with the virus. I had to reformat the system to get out of the mess.

How can I be sure of the fact that I m protected with the antivirus I use?I frequently download files from the net.

Keep your antivirus software updated, that's all there is to it. If your antivirus has an automatic update feature, enable it, in that case, every time you connect to the Net, it will check for any available updates and download and apply them.

AVG is a gr8 free option...possibly better than Norton too...if u wanna try other free scanners, then try AVAST...it is pretty good too...
