Do I need more protection? Every time I start a search or open Firefox, Avast sends me message I have a virus. I just had $300.00 work done plus replace my Windows OP sys. Avast always gets the virus but this is 2-3 times a day. I have started taking the phone line off when I shut down. The virus either says rootkit, or bootkit. What else can I do?
