Do gift horses come with spyware and virusii?
I am deeply suspicious.

It's not that I'm not happy my spyware and virus protection software haven't picked up a single virus or spy-fly in two weeks. Oh, yes, that is good news. Who wants virusii and spies?

It just doesn't make sense that as of December 31, all of my programs suddenly declare a daily clean bill of health. Not so much as a tracking cookie. For as long as I can remember, I've picked up a daily clutter of adware.

Also, don't different virus protection packages detect different viruses and spyware? They shouldn't match.

Then, the date they all started declaring my system clean is suspicious. They all say the same thing as of December 31st.

Add to that my system is running at the speed of cold sludge.

...

Yeah. Maybe I should celebrate my good fortune. Or maybe I should take a closer look.
