Virus(?)
Hey all,I am worried that I may have a virus. I got one while using Google Chrome but my McAfee immediatley picked it up and I eliminated them. I proceeded to run SpyBot Search and Destroy, which found nothing except some cookies as it always does. I ran a quickscan with McAfee right after that and it found nothing as well. I ran another full scan with McAfee today as well as another one with SpyBot and found nothing. However, I am not sure if it escaped detection. I got more than one I believe, the only one I remember being a Trojan one. I checked my processes in task manager and I think all of them check out, but I am not sure. FATrayAlert.exe and FATrayMon.exe seemed weird to me, but I think they are supposed to be there. So basically I want to know:1. Could the viruses have gotten past?2. Is McAfee my best option ( I pay for it, so I would rather not merely uninstall it).3. I have WebRoot Spy Sweeper -- the paid version ( not installed though). Should I install it, or will it conflict with McAfee?4. Is Google Chrome safe or should I use IE?I have been worrying about this all day and tried to use Dell, but I would have to pay for Software support because my warranty doesnt cover it. I am frustrated and worried and hope someone can help me.Regards.EDIT: System InformationDell Studio XPS M 1640Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit with SP 2.
