    Hi,
    I have searched some threads but am not a techie.
    I have XP with VirusScan Enterprise ver. 8.5i installed by computerman at college. I know it is working because it caught 2 trojans yesterday. But am worried about keyloggers. My friend's yahoo was hacked so they have my email address, but am generally worried. Am I protected enough with this package or should I install specific anti-keylogging software? If so, what is good? Pls make answer simple. Thank you

    generally with a decent , and kept up to date, Anti-virus that performs regular scans of all files as well as ongoing systme protection (such as the one you have installed already) you're safe enough. for added protection you could download and install a spyware / malware program. Spybot S&D and Malware bytes are good, free options that shouldnt trip up your AV software.

    Thank you very much from a first-timer here.
    I can safely get back to using email without spreading bad stuff around.
