Is it safe for me to log into my online accounts while I wait? I don't want to but I need to get some work done. Or do I really need to hold off until I get my issues resolved?
I'm using XP Pro, IE7, Norton Antivirus, Windows Firewall and a Netgear firewall/router.
Thanks,

No, it is not safe...Norton is blocking attempts by infostealer and winfixer. I have another post asking for help with that.

It is probably safe, but I would run the scans in the FAQ to check...I have not used this PC to log into any vital accounts, besides my email. I used my wifes laptop to change passwords. It shares this internet connection via a Netgear WGT624 v2 Router. Is her laptop safe? It appears to be clean.
Thanks for your help.
