I have SP2. SP3 supposedly includes SP2 plus all (??) updates, and a few other things that seemed unnecessary. (black hole support for routers...

Are you sure you booted from the CDs first ? (check BIOS) No other drives, USB sticks or other media that could contain malware ? Supposedly the...

What should be obvious is that the real-time protection may miss something. Once the signature for the malware in question has been released, an...

Digitally signed drivers are not that hard to create by 'professional' malware authors ?
Then wait for the inappropriate (inter)national legislation. :dry:

When hell freezes over ? :dry: Promises, promises.

I once read a paper by Eset about heuristics. Very informative, you might want to retrieve it and read it :) 'heuristic analysis - detecting...
Many ways. Unpatched or vulnerable software, insecurely configured browsers, malicious scripts, absent signatures for the Security Total virus etc.
I've been using the Avira security suite for a while, and for as far as I know it depends, aside from the webguard, on signatures and heuristics....
