FWIW

I have received about 10 e-mail's over the last week that had attachments, but I didn't recognize the sender. I immediately deleted them.
Half of them purported to be from my ISP, telling me that the other half were viruses and that I shouldn't open them. These included a link with my ISP's name included in them. Again I became suspicious as they didn't show up until about 2 minutes after the original e-mails. I tried to access the address in the link from another web page and would get an error. Then I called my ISP, they said they were bogus and were viruses as well.
I ran my "free" Anti virus program called AVG, but it failed to flag these e-mails. This was done after updating the anti virus files. I guess it's time to pay for one. Any recommendations?

This is a reply to # 623,623I can tell you what not to get. Do not get Norton Systemworks 2004. It is a piece of garbage and causes more problems that I can even begin to say. Check out the reviews on the link below.

MoreThis is a reply to # 623,624Thanks Blueduck. A tech at my ISP warned me about the version that does everything. He did recommend the Anti virus only version. Any thoughts about that?
In an unrelated issue, he also recommended a free version of spyware called "Spybot" after I told him that lately I had been deluged with Popups even though I had a Popup killer installed on my machine.
I downloaded it 3 days ago and the thing identified about a dozen programs (cookies) that had been put on my machine to track my travels and provide advertisement access to my machine.
The next day another 10, and today about 6. I haven't had a popup since.http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=spybot&tg=dl-2001
