Just had a phone call from BC technical support informing me that they can tell from their server that my computer is infected by a virus. Apart from being suprised at how efficent and clever this firm is that they can tell so readily that my comp is infected i was just a tad supicious and the convo went like this

them: we are bc tec suport your comp has a virus we can see this on our server we will assist you to remove it
me: but i have anti virus etc
them : ahh but sir this doesnt cover everything
