RE: [Philmont]: New Sobig.F virus is flooding the net.

Bob,

Have you tried Ad-Aware from Lavasoft
(http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/). There's a free version you
can download that scans for and removes spyware, much like antivirus
software does with viruses, worms, etc. PC World called Ad-Aware "an
indispensable tool in the fight for online privacy."
