Yes, I have heard of this group and I did actually deal with them in
the past.  They seem to be very well organized and capable.  I believe
that for a small fee, last time I checked ($45) one could purchase a
full clean up utility and get their monthly report on any new viruses
and whats out there.  They also have I think if memory serves me right
on line help via the phone and the modem as you mentioned above.  If
you need anything more specific then send me E-mail and I'll try to
dig up my old information about them.  I remember I had to do a report
on viruses for one of my CS classes and they came in very handy.
