Recently there has been a high activity in trojans and startpage hijacking. Also, clicking on some urls in webpages have downloaded trojans and hijacking. There are several free programs that might assist you in protecting yourself. Take a look at this page on the Computer Cops Forum: "http://www.computercops.biz/postt58139.html" if you keep your Windows updates current and your antivirus updated you still have some chance of being hit. If you are unfortunate and do get hit, you've come to the right place to get help. The meetings are also the place to discuss any problems.
