    Hi guys, this past week, I tried out this online virus scanner on my t60p, it found 2 viruses, named tspy_agent and another similar thing. I was so surprised I thought to myself how is this possible, I have never had a virus problem since when it was brought to my attention. I quickly chose to have them removed. The more I thought about this, the more paranoid I got, so I researched on this and found out that ati has been known to give various virus scanner false positives. To make sure that's what I had, I reformatted the drive and used recovery dvd. The scanner found the exact same things.

    The first time when I told them to remove said "viruses" it basically removed my ati catalyst shortcut from the desktop context menu.
    Can anyone confirm on their new t60s that using trend macro house call will flag your ati driver as viruses?
