Eric,
It really doesn't matter which version it is. Just go get the live update after you install it and it will bring it up to the latest virus definitions anyway. It will also update anything else that they have made changes to.

I was thinking of your problem a bit more the other day and I thoought about this one thing. If you have EVER installed some stuff off of the internet, it could be that some of that software had some "snoop" stuff in it. There is some "anti snoop" software available on the market now that works wonderful and I strongly suggest it. Basically, if you install some garbage off of the internet, at the very bottom of that "license agreement", you know, the one that everyone just clicks on "accept" and never really reads. Well, anyway, at times, they include a little clause at the very bottom that says something like, "We will from time to time check, for marketing purposes, your computer. Not exactly like that but, you get the drift. So, what your machine will do is, when it gets an internet connection, it will connect and send data. It is not a virus and therefore the anti-virus software will not see it. Just another one of the many ways they get ya. That is one of the reasons I suggested the "Internet Security". It has a built in firewall to help stop stuff like that. The anit-snoop software is a great way to scan your machine and keep it clean from garbage like that. Again, I strongly suggest that as well. Not expensive stuff at all, should be less than $20 and you can get it at most computer stores. I know Comp USA sells the stuff.

Just another suggestion....
