Virtumonde problem?

[compProgram]

oh, also, i was looking through the protection my norton internet security offers and i saw that the package you have recommended contains most of the protection norton currently offers.
i am just wondering if i have missed some functions of these programs, but do any of these have incoming/outgoing email scanning(is this even needed because hotmail scans them for you i think?)
and phishing protection (but i think internet explorer 7 offers that(not sure about ff)is the one offered by ie trustworthy? and does ff offer one that is trustworthy?)
because i use both ff and ie but im not sure if ff offers phishing protection.

if they do not, are there any free programs that offer them?/ is the email scanning even needed?

sorry after looking through the features of the programs further i saw that with this package you have suggested it contains antiphishing, as well as intrusion prevention (which i think i forgot to mention) and also rootkit prevention.

so my last question about this is if email AND IM (instant messaging) scanning is useful or useless and if this package does or doesnt contain this and if there is a program that does this.

THANKS =)

No I don't think they do, it's not something that is needed anyway

Don't know what programs offer that protection

Any other questions

nope, that is everything, thank you very much !!

p.s. i started using avira and comodo and its going pretty well. ive noticed how comodo always gives a message to me prompting me to confirm actions but thats fine seeing as how it learns from that.
