My mom's laptop got it, and she's on dial-up, only accesses the internet a few times a week. However, mom hasn't been the best about keeping her anti-virus updates. Her son has just written her a long e-mail advising of the wisdom of weekly A/V updates and firewall software. :-) As a far heavier 'net user, I think what may have helped this time is that I have both Windows and Norton set to automatically update. It's easy to forget to do so manually, and of course Norton and McAffee respond very quickly to reports of new threats. I suggest that my Renderosity compatriots set their A/V software to automatically update, especially if you're a download nut like me. I agree that this isn't fully on topic, and won't mind if the thread gets moved, but we in the Poser community are hugely reliant on the 'net for so much that it doesn't seem grossly off-topic.
