Doing some cleaning of my "media" computer today and SuperAntiSpyware found nearly 900 items of malware. Fortunately none of it was very severe and I cleaned it out easily but it did come as something of a shock as I normally only get very little malware and nothing at all on that machine as it is hardly used for the Internet.

My main computer which is used all the time on the Internet had only two items of malware - which is pretty much the norm and not unexpected. The third machine had none.

What was different about the first machine? It's the one on which I've recently installed AVG 8 - the others are still on AVG 7.5.

Anyone heard any similar reports or am I just unlucky in this instance?

First machine can protected because you have installed AVG 8 free edition.
