1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

I currently use AVG free edition as Anti-Virus. And Zonealarm Free edition as Firewall.
I addition to those I use Ad-aware 2007 and Secunia PSI.
Secunia PSI makes sure all my software is up-to-date, because virus and trojans usually exploit security vulnerabilities in programs and Windows.

Comodo Firewall is fabulous. It's also the only one I know of that allows one to easily define network access for specific programs. It's also free.
