    Plus I'd seriously worry about any IT technician that thought AVG was a reliable AV these days, certainly wuldn;t catch me poking a USB stick onto anything on his network...

    If you are going to get a little concerned about something right now it'd be the .lnk zero day exploit announced last week which MS have yet to issue a patch for and 99.99% of the worlds PCs are defenceless against....

    I wouldn't know to be honest. Haven't really used windows properly in a couple of years. We run a Mac network with OS X Server, so Viruses don't really concern us here. Glad to see the back of exploits to be honest. Life is just too short to start a flame war so I'll stop talking now.

    Was just spreading a message, if it angers anyone then sorry, and just feel free to move to the next thread :)

    I got this call today and googled (this thread and others came up) as I was suspicious. I then told him I had an iMac and asked where he got my details, he hung up. So thanks for posting these messages.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
