I want your opinions. Should we start looking for new virus scanners? And if so, what do you reccomend?

I've been getting quite a few of those myself, one saying Adobe Photoshop CS3 (which came straight from adobe so I know its not a virus of any sort) is malicious content.
Also, it keeps opening IE for no reason.

*gets shot*
EDIT:
I've been using Avira's "AntiVir Personal Edition Classic" for quite some time now, and it's served me well enough.
Just make sure to update it often. If you go long enough without updating that the license key runs out (which it never will, IF you update regularly), it might get stuck not being able to update again, and then you'd have to download the newest version and reinstall it to get it to work again.
...Though that shouldn't be too much of a problem, as it annoys you if it goes 3 days without an update.

According to the site, Avira free doesn't protect against spyware or adware so I can't really recommend it. I use Avast (free) myself.
Heh, I didn't pay much attention to that since I already had Ad-Aware and Spybot to take care of adware and spyware. To each his own, I guess...
