(Gar's "Director of Research in Computer Forensics" at UAB.)
In a word, no. If you're not running border antivirus (or locking down
any way they could get to your computer), running multiple AV programs
as well as running regular antispyware scans, and you're running Windows,
odds are very good you already have several viruses. The really smart
ones don't even slow down your computer these days. Sorry.
